We both asked this in the GD forum. Care to elaborate on this?

I don`t know about you but I`m starting to get a little worried by the fact that no technical staff member will respond to this! Even though I have seen the tech staff respond to other issues while this was still high on the topic list. Makes me wonder if I should continue to post or even visit this site.

I think that port 9999 has to do with the engine for the ad banner. If you put your mouse pointer over the ad banner and look at the bottom of explorer it reads www.ar15.com:9999/engine/click.html and then the address of the advertiser.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the AD banners too. I just wish there was a better way to do that, can't it go back out on port 80.

Ever since the ads went to port 9999, I'm unable to connect from work through the firewall. Considering the majority of my daily-AR15.com-fix was usually from work I've hardly visited here.
I emailed the AR15.com webmaster (GB?) but haven't heard much. From the posts in the forums, it appears I'm not the only one that can't load AR15.com pages. I wonder how many people don't have a 2nd type of connection and are locked out completely.

The ads on port 9999 should just be blocked from your work firewall. You should still be able to surf to www.ar15.com. Unless the port 9999's alerted the firewall guys and they looked up the ip. Then they figured it wasn't work related and locked out the ip.
We still need an answer to WHY the port 9999. Can it be turned off or to another port.

Interesting dilemma. Have a feature to turn off the banner adds, i think not. That would cost ar15.com money.
Probably for the better so I am not tempted to look at this site all day at work.

I apologize for my absence been VERY busy and now I am not... well, kinda... [=D]
The Ad server was running on port 9999 for a short time and I guess we made a big oops and forgot to move it back to normal. (This was a temp solution while the server DNS entry propogated.) The ads were moved to a very powerful full featured solution capable of MILLIONS of ads per month with little to no impact on site performance. (A big step up for improving speed!)
I'll get out to the servers and kick this to where it should be.
I'll dupe this msg in the tech forums so everyone's up to speed.
There is no virus, no problem, just a temp fix which got sidetracked into long term fix... [=D]

I don't think it's been fixed yet. I'm still having problems.
