| 65433 | 2002-07-25 22:31:00 | about my earlier posting on the message that keeps popping up every now and then, as follows: Top line : "ad.nz.doubleclick.net A white cross on red background, next to that Message reads "could not connect to remote server" Now this is happening for no reason, just checking and reading the threads and up pops this damn annoying wee screen. I no I mentioned it happened in the HP Web site yesterday, that was late in the afternoon, this is 9.15am. Any ideas, when typing this it only came up twice, but before while reading the threads it came up six times in about 2 minutes. Go fiqure. cheers merlin-nz ;) ps just previewed this posting and I see the Images have gone and onlt the text "Image" in a square box, u guys playing again. |

| 65434 | 2002-07-25 22:39:00 | That an ad tag (banner or skyscraper at right) The remote server is doubleclick, which serves the ads. Many sites in NZ use them, hence you gettign it on HP. It indicates a connection problem with the DC server. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 65435 | 2002-07-26 06:55:00 | merlin-nz: You're complaining about absence of advertising?:D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 65436 | 2002-07-26 09:47:00 | Do you have any ad or cookie blockers. Or an entry relating to it in the hosts file. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 65437 | 2002-07-27 03:15:00 | JM: He doesn't need to do anything for that to happen. I see it often. Obviously the dc host gets overloaded at times. No problem. I "don't see" the advertisements. ;-) Reminds me of a science fiction book I read once. Guy was a passenger in a vehicle (totally closed in, because the natives didn't use sight; they had "perception"). He was "seeing" by telepathy what the native driver was seeing. He asked: "What are all those blank panels alongside the road?". "Oh", said the native, "don't you have advertisments on your planet?", and started relaying the advertisements, which he (it) had been automatically blanking out. |

| 65438 | 2002-07-27 03:43:00 | OK Graham, was going the leave this one but seeing as somone jumped on board, just to show my ignorance what the hell is a DC server anyway. And seeing as this message only pops up anytime from 0-6 times in one session on the net, do I really need to worry about it. I'm using oprea and eudora now and I do run Adaware from time to time. Ran BHO Demon and BHO Captor and nothing shows up. Ran easycleaner 1.7 and after 1 hour found I had 1283 unnecessary files, Total size 7307 KB and then after an other hour of tring to find Duplicate files found out it was going to take 863 hours to complete. I got 192 MB Ram and when I run my Memory Zipper Plus Program, at the moment its showing 128MB Free 62 MB used. Now I know that didnt have anything to do with the orignal query but thought I ought to throw it in. cheers merlin-nz ;) |

| 65439 | 2002-07-27 04:09:00 | "dc": I didn't want to type out "double-click";-) Nor did Bruce ;-) When you come to this site, one of the first "pictures" which will appear on each page should come from a link to the double-click site. That host decides it's from PressF1, and sends an advertisement. Or not. If it's too busy, the request isn't filled in time, and you get a reserved space with an X in it. (Because it is an <IMG> with size specified) And there might be a messsage that the host didn't answer. No problem. You get all the information from the PressF1 site, just don't get the advertisement.:D Maybe IDG don't get paid for that advertisement.:_| The message might be a nuisance ... I'd look for a way to turn off that message if it splashes into the useful screen area. (I see it only on the bottom line of the IE screen). This will probably go away if the double-click people spend some money on a faster server. |
