It seems that no-one using AOL can get Scoobynet at the moment Am using dial-up to post this - AOL say it's nothing to do with them - anybody any ideas or solutions?

 

how does one get site address'? have the SN ip but what about SN Chat?

 

Looks like a dns issue.

In the mean time try http://217.79.96.7/bbs

If its a DNS error - who is that down to?

 

Probably them as it works fine from other DNS servers...

 

Yeah but they have been denying it - but think I actually got one bloke to comprehend! He has logged it as a DNS Error at long last!

 

I had DNS problems connecting to SN via GPRS last night.....couldn't access the site at all!

 

I can still only log in through the IP number that HHxx
gave

 

Get a proper ISP?

There was a problem with one of the SN DNS servers last night. The primary DNS is back up now, so it might just need another replication cycle for the AOL DNS servers to update again.

 

Can't get on through Freeserve Broadband either

 

It's dead here too, now, despite working fine about 40 minutes ago.

 

Can't get through using some proxies

 

Okay, so it might be getting worse...

I'm fine though <smug>

 

I'm fine too - just using the IP. And I won't care either way in 4 hours' time.

 

 

This happened a couple of weeks back, where a fair amount of uk namespace disappeared.

To me it looked like a DDoS attack, but no-one actually issued any comment...

 

POC is that a picture youre posting or you winding us up with a pic of the annoying turbosport error thingy

 

Turbosport pics don't work when using the IP address. You have to use the .co.uk address to see them

 

Eh? Explain in simple terms please

Wait for a bit and it'll be workin Lynne

 

I feel this is needed again

 

How long is a 'bit' Dunk cos it's still not working for me

 

Red - Not sure, just kinda understood what he was sayin

 

Well I can't understand Who has the problem? Scoobynet or DNS or our IP's

 

Redkop

In simple terms a DNS (domain name server) maintains a list of domain names (websites) and their corresponding IP address. So instead of typing in 217.76.96.7 you enter www.scoobynet.co.uk which is a lot easier to remember. The DNS translates this into an IP address and routes you to the site.

All domain names are registered with domain provider - in Scoobynet's case, the provider has gone bust, so Simon has had to transfer the address to another provider.

Globally, DNS updates can take upto 48 hours - it just depends. That is why some people have been able to reach Scoobynet via the normal domain name and some haven't.

More info, if you're interested can be found here.

You have to bear with Redkop, as I told her all this on the phone the other night. She obviously has a problem with memory retention after a nights sleep!!!
