    Andy, I can't get in via firefox . I worry about what was said above about them blocking someone who tried to get in a lot today. Can that be true?

    I also tried IE and could not get in. IE diagnosed and said the site is up and something about a firewall blocking me , maybe, and they said something about TCP port 80.

      You're not the only one who can't get in. As of 10:08 EST, I can't get in with IE, Firefox, Chrome or Opera. Doesn't seem to be browser related...and I haven't been trying to repeatedly connect. Only tried a few times over the last 3 hours. Doubtful my IP was blocked. Maybe they just shut down a whole range of IPs and we happen to be in that range....

        ...yes, they are probably gradually letting IP's in

          I hope that's the case. I still can't get in in any browser.

                Hmm I still can't get in with any browser. I called and they said I should be able to, so I don't know what's wrong?

                      To all of you who are still having trouble accessing Matchbook, here is a backdoor entry to the site. Let me know if this works for you:

                          Williams, have you tried completely re-booting your computer to see what happens?

                          I can now access the site both on Internet Explorer and Firefox.

                          If you can't get in now, perhaps you should do a system restore on your computer to say yesterday and see if that works.

                          Hope you can figure a way into the site.

                              I'm in. Here's what I did. This worked before when there was a site I couldn't get to. I may have gotten in by now anyway, but this is worth a try.

                              I turned off my DSL modem for about 15 minutes. Then - back on and in . Try it if you are still not in.

                                I've restarted, used IE/Firefox/Chrome, cleared histories, everything I can think of and still can't get in I don't get it.

                                  This is IP related. I also couldn't get in with my IP from Brazil. I changed IP through a proxy and now i can get in. Looks like they are blocking some IP's, with or without knowing.

                                    How do I use a proxy to get around it?

                                        Did you have to change any settings? I installed and enabled it and when I go to any website I get a page saying "Proxy Server Refused Connection". Sorry, I've never used a proxy before.

                                            You just have to double-click the u95 icon on your desktop (if you didn't yet, create the shortcut there) and then enable the Firefox add-on on the Firefox bottom bar.

                                                      Ok I am thinking they are having a deny of service attack, because I just tried to log on via, on home DSL it didn't work. Now that I tether my phone to my laptop, it works. SO IT IS IP BASE BLOCK.

                                                      If you can't log on: You can get an new ip by:

                                                      This allows your internet provider to give you a new ip number.

                                                      Reboot your modem, for 5 min. works for some
                                                      Reboot the modem for 8 hours. works for most

                                                      If all else fails, call 1 877 586 9477 their customer service number. Give them your ip address so they can remove the block on it.

                                                      Any SBR points greatly appreciated. I am down to 6 points

                                                          I emailed them a few minutes ago and received this answer:

                                                          Matchbook is experiencing downtime due to a malicious DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack. We are urgently addressing the issue and expect to be back online today, though we are unable to provide a specific timeline at this point.

                                                            So the only thing we can do to help is to stop refreshing every 5 seconds

                                                              using a public proxy to enter your username and password is pretty much asking for trouble later on.
