What has happened to Alfaowner?

[stu_the_flat]

Its... Its gone! Now what do I do!

[jamieboy]

Having some DNS issues, I think. It's fine for me today, but couldn't get to it at all yesterday.

[Ecurie Ecosse]

It's back up now. Phew!

[stu_the_flat]

I still get a page saying the domain has just been registered!

[RicksAlfas]

I can get on now and they are saying normal service will be resumed by 3pm today.
Some IT babble which I don't understand!

Keep pressing F5 to refresh the screen.

I had that last night aswell, hopefully its ok today......only usually visit in the evenings!

[Avocet]

I still can't get it. If I try to go to my shortcut to the forums it just sas "Error 404 - file not found".

[Ecurie Ecosse]

It was up earlier today but is down again now. Hope it goes back up soon as it's a great site.

I can't get it to work either but a mate just tried it for me and he got in ok

[Killer2005]

Ok for me now

[gpittuk]

Still not working this morning. I have deleted all my cookies and temp internet files to see if that would help but still the same '404' message. Weird

[stu_the_flat]

Works on my home computer and does not work on my laptop. This is probably a good thing!

[gpittuk]

Stu if you are on there can you ask someone 'in the know' if they know what is going on and if there is anything I need to do on my pc please in order to be able to get back on

P.S What's your login name on there?

Cheers, Graham

Sorry that should read "My laptop IN work!" I'm at work at the moment so no AO for me!

My user name on AO is.... stu_the_flat

Spent most of my time in the 164 & 166 lounge and the scottish bit if any thing ever happens there!


Who are you?

[gpittuk]

I'm 'Graham P'

I've not come across you as yet. Own a GT so spend time on there but have also had a 147 and a GTV so pop up most places in fact lol

[bobda]

The connection issues are all down to a nameserver at the host.
There has been an error somewhere and the nameserver has sent out the wrong information to ISPs DNS servers, causing the attempted conenction to AO to be sent to the wrong address.

The information gets updated by ISP DNS servers sporadically, so you may find it takes some time to sort itself out and there will be ISPs which can connect and ISPs which can't.

In the meantime, try setting your browser to acces Open DNS instead - apparently this has updated. http://www.opendns.com/

I have no idea what you are talking about!

[gpittuk]

I know what you meant by Alfaowner, go on there myself some times, but I didn't understand the IT babble in the post above mine!! I'm 45, not 14!
