Can't access coacht in FireFox

Recommended Posts

I was able to access the site last night, but as of today I no longer can. It just stays stuck at "looking up coacht.com..."

 

I've already tried clearing the cache.

 

I'm running NoScript (Javascript whitelist) and CookieSafe (cookies whitelist) with coacht.com and boards.coacht.com allowed on both. Were any changes made recently to the site that could being causing this problem?

 

Thanks.

Yes, it's Firefox 3.5.2.

 

The status bar never seems to get beyond "Looking up http://www.coacht.com...

My FireFox loads the page but keeps showing "Transferring data from cdn.eyewonder.com" in the bottom left. That is the ad server which serves the Gatorade ad at the top.

 

Have you tried IE or Chrome just to see what happens? Is that how you are able to post?

It seems you are having DNS trouble with your ISP. "Looking up..." means that your browser is trying to determine CoachT.com's address on the internet.

 

Chrome and IE each cache resolved addresses longer than they are supposed to, which may why you are experiencing this problem with Firefox. Firefox asks for the address more often than the other browsers. I use Firefox almost exclusively because it behaves correctly in this regard.

 

The problem with trying to troubleshoot this is that Comcast provisions each city/community with its own DNS servers.

 

If you're comfortable changing your computer's network settings, you can do what many Comcast customers do and use alternative DNS servers that will give you more reliable lookups.

Hmm, it's not like Google to ignore standards, so I'm rather surprised that Chrome does that. I thought it might be a DNS issue, but a ping to coacht.com completely successfully. On the other hand, if IE caches IP addresses longer than it should, Windows probably does the same. In any case, I was only on Comcast for the long weekend, so I'm no longer having issues.

Coach, I also have the problem you do showing that in the bottom bar. It also seems to hang up for a few seconds after clicking to a new page or post.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
