Chinese machines

Thanks for the reply Mike.

We read you're post  above and then tried  http://www.highlead.com.cn/ on both our smart phones, my wife's macbook and her apple desk top and we can't get through to the site on any of our devices. We noticed you're in France and I'm wonder if that may be why you're getting through.

Can someone here in the US check this website link and see if it's working?  http://www.highlead.com.cn/

thanks

jeff

It works fine here in Philadelphia, if a little slow to load.

Hi Jeff,

You and your wife will both be using the same DNS provider..( because I presume that you'll have the same ISP, it will be Comcast or whoever that you have your phone or internet contract with  ) so if you cannot get through to a site that works fro someone else, she won't be able to either..The problem is with your DNS provider ( which is usually the same as your ISP and or phone service provider ) not with your devices , Chinese hosted sites can be slow to load from anywhere in the USA except the west coast, because of this, many Asian companies ( not just the Chinese ones ) have their websites hosted in the USA..it helps to avoids "lag" and some( but not all ) potential DNS problems with their US customers or visitors..

 

I don't run any Apple gear here ( I have 10 computers and a half dozen tablets and smart phones ) all my stuff that is allowed to connect to the internet is linux, the win boxen I have are used for specific purposes like running a particular windows only software, and they are not allowed to connect to the internet, windows is far to vulnerable to attack and viruses, even when "hardened" by someone who has been using computers for 5 decades like myself..I can re-install a win box if it has a problem, but I have better things to do with my time nowadays..

Have you angered any Chinese officials lately?

very off topic..

Floyd, heh heh , yep 10 that are switched on almost permanently ( 4 of mine , in front of me right now ) two of my sons ( he also has all the consoles, sony, xbox etc, each generation ), one which my wife uses, one to run my printer, two laptops, eight screens ( plus a flat screen tv  ) in the lounge, ( son has 3 more screens upstairs ) two tablets ( one also works as a phone ), wife has two cell phones ( one work one personal unlisted ), son has one cell phone, unlisted, I have 4 one work for one business, another work for another business, one personal unlisted ,and one just for the obligatory contact number for ICANN ( we have over 200 domain names and a whole bunch of live websites, which I build / built with some help from my son now he is grown up, in different languages and some in multiple languages )..we also have two landlines, both unlisted..and I have a rapidly growing collection of sewing machines ( 7 currently ), so I'm building an "add on" to the house ( was miking concrete and placing roof timbers and cinder blocks today  <= one of the "better things to do with my time"..We live two minute walk from the beach, and I hardly ever get time to get my toes in the sand..

If I could use my time only for what I'd like..it would be to paint watercolours and sculpt almost every minute, that is what I really do, paint and sculpt, I'm a professional artist ( have been for over 50 years, with some other side jobs, even military ) who has always had some side businesses..

Jeff ..I may be able to help by "relaying" an enquiry for you to Highlead ,if you want to try, send me a pm, I'll get to it later ( cooking dinner ATM )..it is 22.oo hrs here ATM.

I know my brother has a time with his provider and it really surprises me being he is like 5 miles out of St.Louis, always a serious issue loading internet, typical land phone line, crop land in the river bottoms is the norm, Corn grows but not much internet!

[mikesc]

Yes, as Floyd says , you could always call Greg, Bob or Steve etc..do they do "longarm twin needle machines ?
