Hi everybody,
I live in the US and my father lives in Dubai. He is a college professor and he uses XOOPS in Arabic. He is facing a problem logging to his XOOPS which has over 900 members. Every time he tries to open the site the following error message appears:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description: TCP/IP processing failure.

Try RELOADING the page.

This error message means that the target host did not properly respond
to HTTP GET request after successfully establishing TCP connection.
This may be due to problems like congestion on target host or transmission
path.

If this problem persists for extended periods of time, contact your
network support team. Please, first make sure that the target is really
reachable and not, for example, out of service due to maintenance.
------------

the wired thing is that I can access all the pages with no problems what so ever?

What could be the cause for this error message?
plz help me out

Nice car!

Sorry...Don't know the answer to your prob, just wanted to comment on the wheels!

If the server is the pc he is useing tell him to try a diff one or either he has something on his pc perventing it

Something like what...cookies, internet explorer settengs or what exactly...what do u expect it could be?

Thanks

I would start with network stuff before browser stuff.

If he is on Linux try iptables, On Windows there are ip filters. I know that the latest service pack breaks alot of apps, though I doubt webservices.

Is it a dedicated box? A firewall in play? Is he accessing across the Internet or a LAN or local machine?

PS - Is it wierd or a wired problem? Sound like both to me

It is a weird problem <==== me and my spelling mistakes
