Is anyone else having a problem getting to the PC website? I can't get to Consultant's Corner to check my shows.

It's not working for me. I get this when I try to open it.

Network Error (tcp_error)


A communication error occurred: "Connection refused"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.
 
Try closing out your browser. If that doesn't work, try restarting your computer. I know nothing about error codes...that is hubby's forte. If something like this happens to me, I try those two things first before running to him!

Still won't open. I tried it at home this morning and it didn't work and it won't work at my work either. So that's two computers I can't open it at. :( I'll keep trying.
 
Yep. It's down...

Then it's not just me.
 
It won't work for me either.:(
 
Thanks! I was struggling to get on to update some show information.

Just an FYI...

Many companies use the middle of the night between Saturday night and Sunday morning to make system updates. That tends to be when there is the least amount of activity. My guess is that is what was going on.

I used to work in the IT department of Cingular and that is what we did.

Once I got to the actual sign in page I saved it to my Home Page so that whenever I bring up the internet it is already there.
 
I was just able to sign on
 
I cannot access the main PC page right now at all
 
Maybe they are updating for May, outlet, pink cups for HWC!!;)

Did you click on my link, it will get you in there!
 
I can't get in either. My Norton won't let me. I can get to the login page, but when I enter my # & password, I get: "The security certificate for this site has been revoked. It should not be trusted."

Is that a sign to me about Pampered Chef? :) J/K, really I am!
 
I am not able to get the update for PP Plus either.
 
I can not get on either !!! it's making me crazy
 
I can't either! Must be down!
 
I'm submitting shows tonight in P3, but havent gotten emails confirming the success of the submission... :eek:
 
Are you able to update PP Plus? Mine won't let me.
 
that's a negative, over.

LOL
 
This is driving me crazy! I hate not being able to go on there and check on things. At least I know our PWS is working because I've had a couple orders come in through there. Good thing I got a HO lead on Saturday before things seemed to go kaput (sp?). Now to just get in touch with her......

I got my first "real" lead last week and I've left her two messages. Grr!

I have enjoyed the sales so far, though. :D :D

Was it a lead about the opportunity or hosting a show (or both?)? I have a handful who never call me back and I can never seem to catch them in. I wish they'd just call back and say "I'm not interested anymore, but thanks anyway" or something like that! I'll cross my fingers that this one pans out for you!

The HO leads are awesome and I'm sure you'll be getting more!!:) I'm am kinda bummed that the main website is down because what happens to all those leads they would be sharing with all of us?!:confused: Maybe we'll get a rush of them tomorrow.:p
 
I getting on to CC just fine. Though one of my recruits called and she couldn't. I ended up logging on as her from my computer...just fine...hmmmm
