When I first tried to logon this morning, a little before 8:00AM PSC time, My computer could not access Photshopcontest.com. Eventually I was able to access the site and read the pages, but at an extremely low rate of speed. It takes between 30-120 seconds to change and load individual pages, and on occasion the time lag becomes so prohibitive that I simply quit trying to load the requested pages. I am not certain, if my computer is experiencing technical problems that are slowing it down, bandwidth issues etc, or if the problem is a server issue related to Photshop.com. My hunch is that the site is experiencing some server related issues because pages on other sites load without a problem. But maybe I am missing something.

Are other people experiencing the same time lag issues or is it just me?
Thanks,

Same here, Patre! So don't worry about your computer.
Maybe JMH moved back to the old server.

Thanks Txpinky for confirming my suspicions.

ditto here....

The site is back in full speed now!

Thanks

Yes, I had a duplex mis-match between the firewall and primary switch. It has been resolved and we are now at full speed.

EDIT:

JMH the chat is still slow for me?

the chat is loading great from here. it is usually slow though because of all of the remote linked images on it. if there is any sort of routing issue between your isp and one of those hosts it will hang on load up. Try using firefox (if you are not already) as it renders the page and images in a more sane order.

Of course. I was just about to mention the old duplex mis-match between the firewall and primary switch problem (not).
