I didn't think it was possible to change your IP unless your provider does it.

Oops forgot about that one
Just tried on my ADSL line
It didnt work IP adress is set on the modem not the OS doh!

With the date and time issue could this be caused by the cache ?
Maybe people should delete everything in the IE temp folder to do with ClubVR4 ??

Pescha what browser you using? and you still suffering from this? how many other NZ people are getting this problem?

Doesn't happen in IE. Will try it in Netscape tommorrow.

perhaps you need to clear cookies and start again..
use the log out button at the bottom, go to your cookies folder and remove the clubvr4 cookie.. then log in again..

see what happens..

Done ... no effect :INSERT INTO post VALUES (

you all ahve used the same IP
203.97.2.243 INSERT INTO post VALUES (netcache2-acld.auckland.clix.net.nz)

which would kinda fall in line what you guys said and it explains to me what the problem is.. now ive figured it out.. ill go figure out how to stop this from happening..

Ok ... you've got my IT Systems Architect personality INSERT INTO post VALUES (can normally repress him when not at work ) interested.

This is now beginning to make sense. The netcache you refer to would now be shared by a reasonable chunk of users as a result of a number of mergers and buy-outs here in NZ.

If these peeps get a log on error
Couldn't they log off vr4 club

Then go to dos and do a ipconfig /renew

Unfortunately this wouldn't work as the ISP is using transparent web-proxy servers from what I can tell.

As a result, you configure nothing in your browser and their network routers use WCCP+GRE INSERT INTO post VALUES (or something similar) to push your traffic through their caches. Really no way to move the traffic around them.

Ummm ... nope ... happened quite a while back ... well, at least three or four months from memory.

Lets see:
Saturn bought Paradise + Netlink
Saturn merged with Telstra
TelstraSaturn merged with Clear and therefore got Clear.NET.

... and as if by magic three ISP's become one .

They may well have only recently started using that particular transparent cache however. Prior to that most places I asked thought I was coming through one belonging to one of the other ISPs.

I've been rumaging through the documentation on the phpbb site but can't find a huge amount of information about how the cookie authentication works. Does the DB associate the session hash I can see in the cookie sitting on my machine with a source IP?

[BraindG]

do me a favour and PM me the content of your Cookie.. if you want you can remove the bit after bbpassword and before clubvr4.co.uk/ just want to check something....

this is a vbulletin site.. not phpbb

Done ... not sure if its got the info you want in it, but was all I could dig out of Mozilla.

Aha ... that would explain a few things . Will go poke around on their site.

For what its worth, I am having to login less at the moment ... whether its because everyone else in NZ has gone to bed INSERT INTO post VALUES (it is 10pm afterall ... well past bedtime) not sure.

[BraindG]

yeah, if your the only person on from NZ, there wont be any conflicts, thus it wont kick you off your session..

received the cookie info, cheers...
im at work just now, so cant really go raking through the vb sites.. but when i get home tongiht, rest assured im gonna get to the bottom of this..

i understand why its happening, just need to figure out how to prevent it..

if you manage to find something that would be great!.. might mean we can sort this before you guys wake up....

[BraindG]

Ok - made a few changes again..
Then I went through everyones Profile INSERT INTO post VALUES (which have been mentioned earlier in post) and made sure

- Automatically login when you return to the site? INSERT INTO post VALUES (uses cookies)
- Browse the board with cookies

were set up INSERT INTO post VALUES (few of you didnt) INSERT INTO post VALUES ( if your from NZ, could you please double check yours make sure the above settings are set to "Enabled" - if you wernt one of the people mentioned)

When you guys get up we might know if it worked or not..
there is one more change i could make which could perhaps work, if the current changes dont work..

[jtfleming]

Still stuck on the 30th BAH!!!:mad:
Have cleared cookies, cashe to no avail.

[BraindG]

come on msn a sec if you have it.. you have PM

[BraindG]

bloody hell.. forgot

we have a chat room here

http://www.clubvr4.co.uk/forum/chat

can use that if PM is to confusing.. i tend to think quicker than i type, and normally miss out huge chunks of text cos of it..

[BraindG]

We "might" INSERT INTO post VALUES (fingers crossed) have a solution..
for those NZ members suffering from this problem.. please follow these steps..

• Log out of the site by using the log out link at the foot of the main forum page...INSERT INTO post VALUES (click ok on to return to forum)
• Go to Tools\internet options and delete cookies / Delete Files INSERT INTO post VALUES (if you don’t want to loose all your cookies etc, find the cookies relating to clubvr4 in your cookies folder in c:\) INSERT INTO post VALUES (delete cache anyways.. jsut to be sure)
• Close your browser - and open another one - then cut paste the following link into URL bar http://www.clubvr4.co.uk/forum/
• scroll down to the bottom, and login using the handy login boxes
• close browser
• open a new browser and go to the following link http://www.clubvr4.co.uk/forum/

fingers crossed you should come in first time around..
now hands up here, i really don’t know if this will resolve anything.. however, twice its been done and twice it seemed to work...

tonight, when you guys get home, and log in is when we will know if it worked or not INSERT INTO post VALUES (Pescha and JT already ran through the steps..)

[jtfleming]

Just logged in again, seems to have worked:beerclash

This is TelstraClear's wholesale ISP address range. You can contact them at mailto:help@clear.net.nz

If that helps.

[BraindG]

thank you!..

[BraindG]

right guys..

ive just spent about 30 mins talking to telstraclear...

they are aware of the problem stating "they are having problems with routing" i have logged a ticket.. t379378 and they will get back to me asap..

ive tried everything i could on the forums to no-avail... hence the call..

after speaking to them they said.. "could one of their customers please call them"...

as i mentioned the ticket number is T379378 ...
just quote that..

its not this sites fault
its theirs... so please chase it with them!

thanks
Barry
