If you've been trying to run either the site Tweak Test or the Speed Test and you're having problems, here are some tips that might help: Almost every thread we've had recently about problems with these apps points to a third party application like Norton Internet Security and\or Zone Alarm (Pro), or any other application that may be blocking a port or the redirect (even the Windows firewall itself). The Tweak Test uses ports 8085 and 8086 (so you should not be blocking outbound access to those ports). The Speed Test doesn't use anything other than standard web requests. Here are links to some of those threads: /forum/remark,11021132~mode=flat /forum/remark,11044327~mode=flat /forum/remark,11151114~mode=flat »tweaktest (opening ports 8085 and 8086)
Q: I have winxp home and ZA pro...when I use your Speed Test all seems to go well until the test finishes and then the test status says "redirecting" and I can't view my results...I've changed my privacy settings without success. Any suggestions? A: Disable Zone Alarm pop-up stopper. It interacts badly with WinXP/SP2 for some reason. The same goes for Norton's NIS2004 Ad Blocking. Apparently, the NIS Ad Blocker doesn't play nice with the SP2 Pop-up Blocker. got feedback? by KeysCapt edited by JMGullett |
