What happened to VenturesOnline?

[Curtis H.]

I've been trying to access VenturesOnline.com (http://www.venturesonline.com) for the past couple days and haven't been able to.

Anybody else have this problem? Is there something I am missing here?

I can access that url fine.

It works for me, but it is just extremely slow.

works fine for me:)

It is currently up although it does seem a bit slow. If you can't reach it at all I would suggest running a trace route.

Assuming you use windows, Click Start then go to Run. Once there type in command and hit enter. A MS Dos window will come up, type: tracert venturesonline.com and check to make sure the problem isn't at your ISP or their upstream provider. If you contact them about it they will very likely appreciate it if you include the trace. (Type exit to leave the DOS window by the way.)

That's odd. I can surf any place I want but there.

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>tracert venturesonline.com

Tracing route to venturesonline.com [209.151.79.223

Thats not the full trace is it? if it is, looks like your isp is having some issues.

[Curtis H.]

No, that was a partial copy of the trace but it leads me to believe it's an ISP (AOL) or software/browser issue.

Thanks for your help guys.
