i frequently have problems on multiple computers. it always says " site can not be found" or something to that affect

 

its doing it now!! whats up wit dat rob?

 

if you are tryin to access it from a campus server it can be b/c of a firewall. Bandwith can be low b/c of all the people accessing the site! Hope all the schtebely gets worked out!

 

Is off and on for me as well ROCK but usually on!

 

hmm I can't get to it now.

 

I may have some insight to the DNS issues you're having. As someone else posted, DNS is the service that translates a domain name like roadracemotorsport.com into an IP address like 216.118.75.166. The way DNS works is that there's an authoritive DNS server that is responsible for being the one single place for the address translation and that when a machine doesn't already know the numeric address (perhaps it hasn't been there before or hasn't been there recently), it looks it up from the authoritive server.

The authoritive servers for your domain according to a WHOIS lookup are NS1.TRILLIUM.CA and NS2.TRILLIUM.CA. However, when I manually run a DNS query for your server's address, the "authoritive" server that responds is one of ns.hmdns.net or ns2.hmdns.net. The pair of servers shouldn't be different. While this is odd, it only seems to indicate a screwed up DNS setup.

More importantly, communication to these servers seems unreliable. Some work, some don't (at least for me). The reason that some people have problems always and others intermittently, is because different people's internet providers will have a tendency to connect to one over the other. Some won't have a preference.

You can, by the way, change your DNS provider without hosting elsewhere - depending on your setup. A lot of registrars (the people you buy the domain name from) have DNS services available and web hosting companies also can usually do that.

Well, I hope this helps...

OK. First off thanks. Took your knowledgable advice and sent a nasty letter to my admin. Basically he change servers and fixed most everything. Tell me is access better? Really need to know. Seems to be working better for me now.

Glad to hear it... I'll let you know if I do have any further difficulties, but to be honest, until I get some money, it's just not healthy for me to visit very often... ;-)

glad to hear it, I'll do some poking around, see if they atleast blocked a port or 2

 

still no dice!

 

working for me today. about 2 days ago.. no dice as well.

Id give it a few days for the DNS to populate again and get pick up by the DNS Servers.

 

Cool. Thanks

I am also still having problems.. no luck getting in the site right now at 4/6/03 at 1:10 p.m. CST (and I think we are in Daylight savings time too or just changed out of it... one of the two)
