DNS Resolving problems... by Mike on 06-20-2006 at 11:42 PM

It seems that I have problems connecting to http://www.msghelp.net
It says: "Firefox can't find the server at shoutbox.menthix.net."
However, it seems that it works fine without the www... :-/

It is happening since yesterday.
I was about to report it, but it seemed like it had been fixed, so i didn't...
But it's here again today...

Try pinging 'msghelp.net' and 'shoutbox.menthix.net'

Start > Run > cmd > ping msghelp.net

Looking in to it.

Works fine here. Are you sure your Firefox settings aren't screwed/Hosts file is OK/haven't got any spyware (delete as appropriate)?

Fixed.

I'd changed the DNS configuration earlier and managed to type msgplus.net instead of msghelp.net

Your DNS just hadn't updated yet.

If it isn't working, give it another few hours for your DNS to update.

http://shoutbox.menthix.net should work and http://shoutbox.menthix.net should both work.

Wait for your DNS servers to update, which may take up to a few days.

Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /flushdns

That can help sometimes.
