EDCF down? (Jan-19-2007)

[D.B.]

I used OpenDNS as a work around tonight, and I finally got onto the EDC site.

 

[watt4]

the forum is online. I could surf it using a proxy. odd, another of his forums on that IP resolves normally (using the same nameservers).


fwiw, I would NOT send any passwords though a proxy.

Glad that I remebered the EDCF population having an general interest at CPF.... almost 3 days with "" Server not found can't find the server at www.edcforums.com. "" is giving me withdrawal!

Can't even get a ping response...

OK. its not just me. Thats good to hear. Sounds like a service routing/server access issue...

I could not access EDC Forums this afternoon or evening so I implemented a temporary workaround on my Linux sytem. I added the following line to the /etc/hosts file:

72.233.32.114   edcforums.com   www.edcforums.com

This causes my web browser to obtain the forum's IP address directly from the /etc/hosts file instead of accessing a name server.

Yeah, it's still down for me.

Now Thats a nifty trick! I'll have to remember it for the next time... :thumbsup:

I lost access again. Even changing to a static DNS server isn't even working now.

 

[watt4]

still unreachable except by proxy.


I wonder if they have considered using external DNS (dnsmadeeasy, zoneedit, etc.) or their domain registrar's DNS.

I can access it no problem at home, but today at library it didn't work. :shrug:
