Ever since the website has changed I can't get the website to come up at home. If I am here at work everything is fine.
Any suggestions?

What internet service are you running? DSL, Cable, Dial up?
What Operating System are you running as well? If it's Vista, begin your endeavor in the Google search...I had the same issue with THIS and ONLY this website not coming up and it was a PAIN in the a$$ to fix!
I probably still have some of the links saved, let me know these details and I'll see if I can help you.

got it.
I had some ignorant google urlhelper installed somehow.
If the web page wasn't fast enough or paused momentarily the browser defaulted to it, what a pain.
oh well it gone now thanks for the hints!

if you still have the problems try using a proxy site and see if it works.
if it does i can tell you a setting in your internet to change, im just too lazy to look it up if it wont help anyone

You know, this is interesting because short of a year or so back, one day I simply could no longer access this sight from my computer at work, and still can't. It's the only one! Not with Internet Explorer or Firefox or any browser. It says that it "times out" etc.
So far I've emailed Steve about it as couple of times, and spent all kinds of time with AT&T internet tech support with no success. Somehow it almost
seems like Central somehow blocks any attempt to connect from my work IP address, which is static.
Camaro, what's the setting change you were speaking of? Heck, if anyone here has any ideas, please let me know....even though, I wonder if it would be smart to be able to access this sight from work

Try Googling the issue man...one thing to include is "XP" or "Vista." You'll get ALL sorts of issues that'll pop up. If it's Vista I can help you, if it's XP, I can't because I never had an issue with XP.
Let me know.

open comand prompt and put ping www.z400central.com that will tell you if its being blocked..otherwise I had the same problem with this site.. it was because I had a type of internet accelerator..couldnt get on central..

try this
http://www.dnsadvantage.com/ but copy your old ones (if there is anything written there, there wasn't for me) and see if it does the trick

It should work out of the box. Mine didn't start it until after 6-9 months of having the computer. Trust me, you'll be fine out of the box.
If not, however, just Google like "website not showing Vista" or something like that...OR Google the error that you're getting popping up...
It's really pretty easy. You just have to have patience with it...

That's a problem all in itself...Good luck with that one. I've never had good luck with Dell's...along with MANY people I know.
Let me just say this, Dell's are cheap for a reason. Along with any other thing, you get what you pay for.
Nothing meant towards you Nightraven, I have a Dell in my home (girlfriend's computer)...guess what? It's sitting on the desk, turned off and unplugged because now it won't connect to the internet and I can't for the life of me figure out what it's issue is. I don't really care though because I have this super computer that can handle two users using it...

We were getting errors with not connecting due to too many connections on the site. We have fixed that, so it should be a lot better now. Still ironing things out!

I usually get on the site from my blackberry when I get breaks at work. However, the past 2-3 days I can't access it. I can get on any site but this one. I guess as long as my home computer works it will be ok and I wont have to jump off a bridge. lol
