Good evening
everyone.
My partner is
experiencing some strange, intermittent problems connecting to
roll20, either to the main roll20 site or directly to any of the
campaigns they are involved in. When attempting to
reach roll20 or the campaigns they are currently getting this error
“Server Error: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.” As I have suggested
this problem is not constant, often only lasting for single evenings;
however it has caused issues at least three separate times in the
last month or so (we try and play a campaign session at least once a
week, or there abouts). We've tried a number
of different things to fix this issue when it occurs such as-
Restarting the
computer Tried running
the computer in safe mode Disabling all
firewalls and other security software (such as Sandboxie) Tried running
Firefox (default browser) in safe mode (without addons), have also
tried accessing roll20 on these occasions in different browsers Tried flushing
the DNS and trying with at least two different DNS servers Resetting hosts
file Restarting the
router
One of the strangest
aspects of this whole thing is that though we sit literally feet
apart at our separate desks I have not suffered any of these same
issues with roll20 and can always get on without issue. My partner's computer is running Windows 7 Pro (service pack 1) as its OS.
If anyone has any
other ideas or something please let us know.
