John Kettler Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Commo difficulties continue. Boris apparently never got a turn my machine shows as properly sent, while I got an "unknown host" E-mail bounce when I tried to inform Fate that not only had I gotten the turn he was asking about, but had already sent him my turn in reply. Boris, I've resent the turn. Fate, has your E-mail address changed? If not, I wonder why E-mail to you would bounce. Tero, where are you?

John Kettler Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Boris, Got your turn and tried twice to send you my reply. I keep getting some bizarre Command RCPT User error message each time I try to send you my turn. Will try again later.

Fate Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 No idea John, I'm getting mail fine on that account. Did it get typoed somehow? kirkcm@telus.net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Fate and Boris, I have tried yet again to send you the turns, only to again fail because of the bizarre Command RCPT User not local problem. Fate, your E-mail address was keyed in perfectly and displays properly. Frankly, I believe the problem is the seismic squeeze I've described. Unfortunately, that means I can do nothing until something lets go within the crust, thus relieving the rock strain which is presumably generating all the piezoelectric interference. Tero, Nothing from you in days, but since I can't E-mail, maybe it's moot. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Well, if you can't mail to anyone, it sounds like either your ISP is screwed up, or your mail configuration is not quite right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Fate, I'll check, but the settings worked fine before (some three days ago) and haven't been changed since. As for my ISP, history shows the problem is rarely there. Besides, that fails to explain how AOL also fails to work, and it uses a wholly different browser, routers, etc. There are days neither Netscape nor AOL works, some where only AOL connects, and some when both do. If Netscape works, AOL invariably also connects, but the opposite is not true. Suffice it say that the phenomenon baffles several of my power user friends. Sorry for the incredibly aggravating delays. Treeburst155, if I'm holding up the Finals, you are of course welcome to step in and designate someone to finish my games. I'd strongly prefer to finish my own fights, but believe me when I say I'd understand. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 25, 2002 Author Share Posted November 25, 2002 We're not at the panic stage yet, John. Do what you can to get going. Besides, a FEW uncompleted games among non-prize eligible sections will be OK because every scenario is being played 22 times. If that count slips even to 15 or so, we still get a decent median to work with. Speaking of unfinished games and withdrawals, von Lucke has had to withdraw due to severe computer problems. Judging from his posts to the technical forum, I'd say his hard drive is shot. I haven't yet decided if I should even try to do anything about his withdrawal. His opponents will each miss out on one scenario, but the effect on scoring the prize eligible sections is negligible as explained above. If you are in von Lucke's section, I will be emailing you. Fight On!! Treeburst155 out. I 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Okay, here's the latest. Tero, I got your turn 27, which I did not have. Thanks! Boris and Fate, for hours on end today I couldn't get online at all, hence, could not have even posted here. Happily, at least that seems to be working now. Unhappily, the cursed outbound E-mail problem remains. Worse, the CD is again not being detected. Worked fine before. Grr. Treeburst155, I appreciate your confidence.

Treeburst155 Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 Well now, Ted. I was just going to take over von Lucke's games myself; BUT, the job is yours if you want it. One of the games is mostly finished, another is only on turn 7, and I haven't received word on the status of the third game yet. Ya still wanna help me out here? Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Sure, you bet TB. Let me know how I can help. tramos1@optonline.net I've been wondering about the scenarios. It'll be fun to get a peak. And if I loose I can blame it on somebody else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 SitRep follows: Contacted my ISP's tech support and had the line checked. No problems reported with connecting; no servers down. Also checked dial tone quality by using handset on fax/copier. Clear tone. Am still having the much referenced outgoing E-mail problem, which has ZERO to do with what my foes are sending me or the format. Simply put, every time I try to E-mail something, I get the "Command RCPT user not local and relaying not permitted from you" error message, which is rapidly driving me mad. Ability to get online today has been sporadic, and perceived bandwidth limited, so that simple activities seem to take a long time. I have a turn waiting in Drafts for each of my foes, but presently am unable to get those turns to E-mail. Am I frustrated? You bet! Yet I remain hopeful that whatever's strangling my computer will release. At least today the CD drive's being read. That's how I was able to view the mutual carnage in my battle against Tero.

Kanonier Reichmann Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Just a thought J.K. If you can't easily borrow someone else's computer why not pop into an Internet Cafe or something similar to send off your files saved onto a floppy disk? A temporary solution granted, but better than nothing. Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabpub Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Hey, Kettler! Do you live in a house built on a graveyard like in Poltergeist? Maybe you should move out of that neighborhood with all this ****e going on? I would be outta there myself... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 John, ever try a free email service like yahoo? You can send files from it without trying to connect over SMTP (where it seems like your problem lies). Also, have you tried using a different email client. That one could be fooked.

Fate Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Or if you happen to have a machine that doesn't have a floppy, pick up one of those cool liitle flash memory things you plug in a usb port. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Still no joy with E-mailing on Netscape, but a test message on AOL apparently was successful, in that I didn't get an immediate error message. Sadly, an attempt to send a small turn (18K) the same way failed miserably.

Kanonier Reichmann Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 So I gather John, you don't think much of the suggestions above or are they impractical for some reason? Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjelinek Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 North Of Epron, turn 21 with JAT. Steady but slow about 1 email each per day. Emilville Exit, turn 22 with HOBO. Haven't heard from him for about a week. He said "real life" stepped in but he'll be back shortly. His wife has delivered a new addition to the family.

John Kettler Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Success!!! What AOL wouldn't do last night, it for some reason did today, or so it's claiming. The text message I E-mailed on AOL last night did get through. I have confirmation from the recipient. I sent out turns to each of my three foes, and they are the proper turns, too. Foes, please reply to my relaypoint E-mail address, not AOL. That'll make my life simpler. KR, I appreciate the suggestions and have been trying to figure out how to implement them on this end. Also, I plan to have a friend over who has an identical model iMac with the same OS as mine for tests where my computer sits. Further, I plan to explore via our main phone line in another room whether there's something happening on/near this desk that is highly localized in terms of where the interference occurs.

John Kettler Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Boris, Excellent news! Assuming you sent it to my relaypoint E-mail address as requested, though, it must still be in transit, since it's not in my Inbox.
