Hi to all,
on Wed 8 Aug 2001 at 2 am (local time) I had to use IE to
change something at my homepage and to connect to my bank account.
I did not come through to ISP after dialing: "bad username and/or
password". Tried 5 times after checking name and password = no use!
Then... I tried Arachne to collect the e-mail. She was succesfull in one
hit. Same ISP, same username and same password.
After that, IE again... tried 5 times... no luck.
3 AM in the morning, time to sleep.
Wed 8 august 5 PM... IE again.
1st try... @#$%^&*
2nd try... OK... but after connecting to the right page IE stopped!
3rd try... succesfull until the end
Wed 8 aug 5:30 PM... Arachne OK again at first dialing!
This looks like very heavy traffic on the web... but why does Arachne
funtion OK and IE not? Win is not even good in dialing your ISP!
I did not encounter Code Red, not one time. Was my ISP cleaning up?
Was my ISP cleaning up by blocking or filtering all M$ browsers and
e-mail clients? ISP = HetNet = daughter of KPN.
Don't YELL... sometimes I HAVE to use win9x!
sometimes I HAVE to use JavaScript!
sometimes I HAVE to use a security script!
very often I HAVE to use M$ Word; my clients use it!
CU, Bastiaan
