Is this a bug?

I've been going through the member lists. I seem to have got too much time on my hands, but nowhere near those who've got millions of points. How come some people get points for posting crap while others have less points with amazing articles?

Just wasted fifteen minutes trying to get email set up on my "Tide you over" tablet. And one account is failing, and failing, and failing - just reporting a bad password.

Now, this isn't fun, because I use GUID passwords and they aren't easy to type at the best of times, and when you can't see what you typed ... so after about the eighth time, I dive in to the domain mail controller, and reset the password to something I can type (I'll change it back later when I can copy and paste it).

And it fails as well.

Turns out email addresses are case insensitive (as are all URLs) - but as far as a Fire tablet is concerned, mail server names aren't. "mail.s*****.com" is not the same as mail.S****.com" and since I PascalCase my domain name out of habit ... Grrrr!

The rfc states that the local part (before the @) is case sensitive (most servers do not enforce this) and the domain name (after the @) is not case sensitive. What server are you using?

Qlikview server issues, sequence of events:

01/11 11:30 - Server drops off the network

01/11 11:35 - Notify admin that owns the IP that it dropped off the network

01/12 05:50 - Arrive at work, machine still not accessible, admin hasn't responded, so I submit help desk ticket

01/12 09:45 - Help desk responds, asking which port number the machine is on. Really?

01/12 13:50 - Two guys from NetOps comes up to my office to see what I'm talking about. What in the phrase "the IP does not respond to a ping request" causes confusion? They actually had to watch me do it.

01/13 05:55 - Arrive at work, machine still not on network, email from help desk saying the qlikview share admin (the same idiot I emailed two freakin days ago and as yet have received no response) is working on the issue with no ETA on restoration of access.

01/13 07:15 - A guy from the IT department calls to say he's got the work order to look at my ports and that he'd be upstairs before 10am. I told him that it's not a f*ckin port issue and not to bother coming upstairs. But he's got a work order, so he has to come up anyway. I told him masturbating in a stairwell would be time better used.

No work has been done since 11:30am on Wednesday... What a cluster f*ck.

As much as I feel your pain, try changing your wording.
You stated, "the IP does not respond to a ping request"; the implication is that the PING port is open and not blocked by a firewall - we fight this battle every time we deploy a new server to the field.

Rephrase it is, "I am unable to connect to the QlikView server, however, I am not having issues with other servers. I was previously able to connect to the QlikView server and, until such time as I can, I am unable to work productively."

Also... have you informed your management directly of this issue? Presumably, others are using the QlikView server - have they informed their management?

Look on the bright side: you are getting paid - and well paid, I presume - to sit around and do exactly nothing. With the side benefit that you don't have to watch "Judge Judy" and "Jerry Springer" while smoking ice.
