Help! I can't log on to PERB.

[Avery]

Since PERB (and MERB) changed servers last Monday, I can no longer log on to either site from my office computer, unless I use a proxy server. Even though my office connection is DSL, using the proxy is as slow as dial-up. Not only that, every time I click on any link on PERB, it logs me off. I can still read posts, but I can`t post myself as a result (I`m posting this from home). I also can`t see any graphics when I use the proxy server.

Fred Zed suggested I try PERB`s IP (http://69.90.73.254), rather than https://perb.cc, but that doesn`t work either. My office computer is connected with three others to a server, but it wasn`t a problem until Monday.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I agree with Duff. Check the cookies setting.

Also, it occurred to me your corporate IT dept might have installed s/w limiting access to some sights. My old company did that, but they also announed the change to the employees and restated policy as to unapproved use of corporate equipment...

It's not a corporate IT department. I own the business, and no changes have been made to our server, or to the cookies setting on my own machine for months. The only change was the change in PERB's server last Monday.

I don't have any problem logging on at home, as I am right now. I even tried including PERB as a "trusted site" in the "Security" tab under "Internet Properties", but that didn't work either.

Does anyone have any useful ideas? All I've received so far is one PM from a guy who has the same problem I do.

Avery,
I to had a problem, for a day, last week somewhat similar to yours. From my office computer, it would not log me in automatically (like my cookies were disabled). I submitted for a new password and seemed to fix my problem.
