intermittent admin panel access (mostly no access)

[nwmc]

here are the results of the forum post assistant.

2 days ago we lost access to our admin panel 99% of the time. a couple times a day i'll try and get in, and was able to (per our host) upgrade joomla from 2.5.16 to 2.5.24, and then i was able to get in consistently for 10 minutes, but since then it's back to intermittent.

i also was able to clear joomla cache, try from many browsers/computers/networks, looked at .htaccess and myphpadmin for non-enabled users/logins, but nothing matches up exactly to what i see, and none of the solutions have fixed the problem.

thanks in advance!
