    [​IMG] I've been having problems accessing SP for 2 days now. I usually do that from a PC at university, and things were working just fine until yesterday. Now, every time I go to www.sorcerers.net the connection freezes for a while, then I get the message "Zero sized reply". I tried it from another PC in university (the one I'm on right now), and it works. Therefore, I think the problem is with the PC or the browser's configuration. Unfortunately, I've compared as best as I could the Internet options, and they seem identical.

    Anyone has an idea what the problem could be? Are there specific settings that SP requires in order for the site to be accessible? The only thing I could think of was checking the cookies, and the settings seem ok.

    If I don't fix this I'll probably have to forego accessing SP more than twice a week :mad:

    EDIT: Forgot to mention the university uses a proxy server to access anything on the Internet. I am sure this is not the problem however, because I am going through this same server to post this and it works without a hitch.

    Nothing on this end has changed... could be just a temporary routing issue somewhere in your part of the world, or a problem with your uni's proxy. If it doesn't get sorted out in a week or two I suggest you contact your uni network admins and tell them about the problem, they should be able to do something about it. You don't need any special settings to be able to access the site.

    Thanks Tal, it seems you were right. It now works like a charm again, and I didn't change a thing. Sorry for the fuss :D
