I understand Comcast is now filtering all gun-related sites.

I'm a Comcast user who's not experiencing any issues.

i can usually connect, but sometimes I get the "low res" version: i.e. if an icon image doesn't load, I get the "text" version. But other than that - no problems here. I access via 3 different ISPs. Comcast, private work, and Verizon 3G

I'm assuming you can connect to other websites just fine using the Comcast connections?

A good starting point would be to verify if you can't connect at all, or just can't connect by name (DNS resolution):

Open up a Command Prompt, and type: ping www.tngunowners.com and then press Enter.
You should get 4 replies back from the server.

If they fail, ping by IP address, type: ping 72.44.88.31 and press Enter.
You should get 4 replies back from the server.

If it works by IP, but not by name, you have a DNS issue, and you should probably place a call to Comcast.

Ok tried this, had to ping ip address : this is what I got back.
Ping statistics for 72.44.88.31:
Packets : sent = 4, received =0, lost = 4 (100% loss)

So now what?
