Brought some decent results out today but since early morning I haven't been able to get on the site.
Even TCP/IP pings are timing out.

Been working fine here all day.

Yep, have been on all morning but PBB a little quiet.

Interesting! I still can't get on to ADVFN.com
Tried a tracert from my pipex broadband connection - gets through to Colts network OK but finally on the 17th hop I get "213.86.59.108 reports: Destination net unreachable"

Maybe it's a DNS problem somewher ? If someone has the correct IP address for advfn.com I'd like to try that direct. The one that comes up from pipex is 212.161.99.160. is that correct?

brianboru, their final hop never responds to pings, it's a common measure against denial of service attacks. Your IP address is correct.

I've noticed a couple of times today when I've refreshed advfn page I get a dns error.

if you're still getting problems try clearing you're iexplorer history.

thanks ricardo - I've done all that plus reduced XP firewall to off, internet security down etc, etc. Still no ADVFN though - I might try loading netscape (shudder) and try that.

Clem Chambers will be appearing live today on CNBC Europe at 17:45 and BBC News 24 at 22:30

Still no browsing to advfn.com
Installed a packet sniffer and can see my browser sending a request packet (tries 3 times) but there is no response at all from advfn's server. No ACK or anything. Emailed ADVFN support who replied asking me to fill in the support request form on the advfn.com site but as I can't browse there that's not an option! Also emailed pipex support but without reply.
So, I wonder, can anyone else who uses pipex adsl hit advfn.com?

share looking good this company

Accessed advfn.com sunday eve 18.35 with no probs

me too,having probs with accessing site!

Back in now - did a system restore to a previous date. God only knows what the problem really was, whether it was that or whether it was Pipex doing something that cured it.

I try to connect using the office connection. It sometimes goes in fine but then at some point, I get a zero sized reply error and then that's it, I have to close the browser, wait for a bit and then try again. Any ideas or is the same issue that you are all having?

the floatation has occured of All Ipo and they also have cupidbay, good add revenue and No1 European Stock market site. They have an american BB that is growing and are trying to get the worlds stock market data feeds for access from a single site. Got a feeling this is going to rise quickly, very very quickly.

Just now it is doing the opposite!

AllIPO is not trading, nor will it be trading for some time, (not the same as having a stock market quote). Cupidbay.com is - well, see for yourself.

ADVFN is still in the development phase, as was made clear at yesterday's AGM. So for some time, growth and the associated costs will precede revenue growth. This was challenged at the meeting, but the board vigorously defended the present business plan as being the best way forward. So no rocketing profits for the time being was the message.

The board was also reticent when it came to being asked to say if the company was presently trading profitably.

So it is still a "jam tomorrow, hopefully" stock.

Looks a reasonable bet to me, the months are ticking by and the numbers are rising thats good enough with costs under control for now.
ALLIPO will be making money almost immediately once they start trading IPO's and CupidBay is growing daily - broker has also put a 10p target on the shares.

good PR in today's Times is driving advfn up today - 10p target looks possible in time for Xmas!
