). Since I switched net providers I changed my e-mail address. Ever since I changed I've been having a problem. I login to the site and all is well until a certain amount of time passes and I get the appearance of just visiting this site. The login option appears on the screen and I have to log back in. Even weirder is that my user id is still at the bottom of the page like I'm still logged in. I haven't been to any other forums since switching so I'm not sure if it's the site, my computer or just the nature of satellite internet. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks
i actually know the exact problem and have had it happen to me at multiple sites i visit to service their computers, and it ONLY happens on these clients which i thought was weird but i investigated it..
it Probably has something to do with the fact that the IP address you are getting assigned from your sat provider is dynamic and it changes. Most cable providers give you a dynamic also BUT it stays the same, all the time, unless you change your router (then based on the mac address it gives you a new dynamic address).
The problem i had specifically is that at some of my clients here, they have a router (sonicwall) with the failover and load balancing (basically a t1 and cable modem) combined together to provide a single outgoing pipe.
i think the message board detects you coming from 2 different IPS and causes a problem. Other problems i had with clients using this is that lets say they log into like bank of america using a load balanced connection, it will sometimes log them out in the middle of something because i assume it detects 2 connections from 1 source and marks it as a spoof or IP masquerade exploit, hard to say.
my fix for these clients, were to use google chrome, which seems to fix the problem because it caches the credentials, i didnt try firefox, but google chrome worked well and i stuck with that.
