DNS Propagation problems. Please help
Hi peeps
I just moved my personal account and domain from one provider to another . I have updated my DNS settings etc to the correct settings, the day before yesterday and its still not working.
I updated it to the new server but the update tool at my registrar still points to the old settings, although samspade.org says its updated.
Is there anywhere I can check that it is propagating the right info around the dns servers etc. Samspade reports the new address but I dont know of any other tools/sites to check with.
Cheers
Stu

domain changes can take 48-72 hours to proporgate throughout the WWW
I wouldn't worry about it too much jusy give it time!
the tool you need it (XP, 2k?):
nslookup
from memory:
nslookup domain.co.uk - will look at the domain entry fromyour current DNS server
nslookup server.ip - specifies the DNS server to use
ipconfig /flushdns - clears your local machine's DNS history / cache (reboot on 9x boxes)
command line widget

They do not propogate throughout the "world wide web", they propogate to other DNS servers!
