I had the same problem. I found I had to be sure to deliberately LOG OUT on one computer before the site would let me log in on another computer.

And I will try them tonight. I'm on my last day at work for the week, so if I don't post anything before Monday, you'll know it didn't work.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

On the top of the first post, on the right hand side, is: LOG OUT. If you log out
every couple of days, each time you log out, it will automatically clear all cookies.
Than, follow directions and log in. And your good to go for another few days.

WOOO-HOOOO! Problem solved.

It wasn't a problem with the site, or the cookies, or logging out, or Internet Explorer. It was related to my ISP's DNS Server. It wasn't hooking up right. (I am not a computer geek. I know just enough to be dangerous.)

From what I've been able to figure out, DNS Servers translate the web site description (ie: "Google") into the language the Internet needs to find the site (ie: "64.233.167.147") That's as much as I know about that.

I found the solution by installing a free program called Treewalk (TreeWalk DNS Home). Apparently, this program takes over the DNS Server duties from your ISP, so it's goodby DNS error messages.

Anyway, it's good to be able to access FTE from home again!

I just downloaded the latest version that was on there and it worked. I didn't have to do anything after that.

This is how it worked for me:

1. Download the program from the web site by selecting the option "Save to a file on my computer"

2. Save the file to a location such as "My Documents"

3. At the completion of the download, you will have an icon in your Documents with the file name " twdns821".

4. Double-click on this icon and a self-installing program will open.

5. At the conclusion of the installation, it just worked without any further action from me.

If this doesn't do it, you must have another issue.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled and now it works on both XP systems.
It does not work on the Vista system and I have not found a way to make it work.
On another tech forum they talked about and some used OpenDNS But all it did for me was lick me in the site and I could not go to any other place on the net!
Will keep working on the problem.

I'm sorry, all I know about Vista is that I don't want it!
