   Do you have a static or dynamic IP?   
      
   Also - what browser are you using.   
      
   Or more specifically - your user agent.   
      
   I have a user-agent switcher add-on for my version of Firefox   
   (2.0.0.20).  I typically set my user-agent to "Googlebot 2.1" just to   
   throw a curve to any servers trying to do any metrics on me.  What I   
   find is that a lot of web-forums throw up strange errors when I try to   
   post something with Googlebot as my user-agent.
