Can't access FWS =(

[Erizo]

Hi o.o

I can't access FWS normally, right now i'm on a proxy T_T Since yesterday at night i couldn't, is there something wrong? O.o

[Dynash]

Check it's not your net?

[Erizo]

Maybe, but this is the only site i visit, that i can't access now :S

[AdamJ]

Maybe your ISP has classed it as an over-used site and they've blocked it. Aparently some do actuley do that..

[Dynash]

Could be a AV? Modem problem? I've had a problem like this before, where I couldn't connect to nearly 8/10 websites without using a proxy.. It was my net settings on my PC, I had to reinstall my OS, after that it worked fine.


What error do you get? connection timed out? That's what I always got.

[SC-Daniel]

Try using OpenDNS instead of your ISPs DNS servers...

Comcast had a minor outage a couple weeks ago in my area, some sites would resolve and others wouldn't. I reported the problem numerous times and they kept denying the fact that it was a DNS issue with them. After I got fed up I switched over to OpenDNS and everything started functioning properly.

I thought maybe it was just my LAN or something, so I had a neighbor check and they were having the same problem.

I'm in Mexico, i hardly doubt my ISP has the knowledge to do that... :P

The connection has timed out

The server at freewebspace.net is taking too long to respond.

And as i said, this is the only site i can't access.... :(

[Dynash]

Give it time, if it starts on other sites, then it is your computer settings.

[sep]

What is the exact error you're getting?

Cannot find server? Taking too long to load (timeout)? Connection was reset?

[Dynash]

He gets timed out. It's in the quote above my post.

Try and post the following to the FWS domain:

Tracert
Ping

[Jan]

Try connecting with the IP :) I used to periodically have that problem here.

[Erizo]

I cannot access with IP either, this is driving me crazy >.< It seems it may be my ISP, there are some other sites i can't access... :(

[JonnyH]

Restart your modem? Or like people suggested use OpenDNS?

[Dynash]

It's your computer. I've had this before. Fiddle with your settings, see what's causing it. When I got this sometime last year it was like 5 months long, it was driving me insane, then it settled and everything started working again. I had to do a OS reinstall once though, because it wouldn't go away.

[Erizo]

I don't think it would be my PC, as i didn't moved around the settings =( It just, from one day to the other, started failing... (Couldn't access FWS), and yesterday i was searching for ratdvd on google, and i couldn't open a lot of sites :S

[Dynash]

I never changed mine when it happend to me. Use another computer, I'm sure you will connect.

[Darknight]

Test in a different browser.

[Erizo]

UPDATE: It seems it's my ISP.... because i was talking with some friends that also have the same ISP, and they all say some pages are unaccesible....

I would call their support line, if i wasn't so busy trying to recompile apache and PHP again >_<

Hmm, have you tried OpenDNS? I had the same issue and when I switched to OpenDNS all was fine ;)

[Erizo]

I've tried OpenDNS as you suggested, but went worse xD Somehow i couldn't even open now more sites XD

Anyways, i gave up, i'm using a web proxy, lol. Called support a few hours ago, they put on a report...

Oh, well, just have to wait, i guess. The first time i could't access FWS i was like "zomg, fws is down? O.o" Then went ahead to host-tracker and it was up... So it was "my internets" :P

Just turn your modem off for about 15 minutes, restart your PC and turn your modem back on when the PC is coming back up. This will flush your DNS and also should give you a new IP as well.

[iBrightDev]

you could do a more simple way and just open the commend prompt and type in...

ipconfig /flushdns

;)

Usually, that doesn't work for me.... dunno why... maybe it's because of my pathetic local ISP.

[iBrightDev]

i normally release my ip first, but, flushdns should always flush it. :S

[Erizo]

I had already flushed my DNS Settings and didn't worked.... But now it works.

After a little big chat with their technical support, i found out that it was due to an "automatic" firmware update from the modem (2wire), and that resetting the settings to fabric solves the problem, lol.

[Dynash]

Isn't it:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

?

[Erizo]

Yeah, it's ipconfig /renew

[iBrightDev]

Isn't it:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

?

ipconfig /release (releases the IP)
ipconfig /renew (renews the IP)
ipconfig /release (flushes the dns)

Probably something wrong with your firewall.
