    Hello,
    I haven't been able to access RentACoder for the last two days. I have a pending project, so I am worried about this. I found today that I can access the site when I try using a web proxy. But I don't trust that proxy enough to login through it. Here's what I got from tracert:
    
    Tracing route to www.rentacoder.com [209.34.245.75]

    Any idea what might be wrong? I am thinking of installing phproxy on my hosting acct. in US to access RAC.

    Yea.. but thats not a permanent solution. It seems my connection is reaching the RentACoder server and then its seems to stop responding.

    Are you on a broadband connection? You could try changing your ip address.

    1. Go into command prompt, type ipconfig /release
    2. Shut down your pc and unplug your modem and router.
    3. Wait 15 minutes (preferably all night if this doesn't work)
    4. Turn everything back on.
    5. Type ipconfig /renew
