Chris`I Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Can you tell us exactly what it says on the laptop in question? Also try logging in via the different URLs and see if that makes any difference www.350z-uk.com www.350z-uk.net www.370z-uk.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Sure. On ie it says cannot display the webpage. On chrome cannot connect to the site. I am using the .com address. This prob is unique to this site thou. So sorry, you must have thought these issues resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You could also try flushing your DNS cache on windows - as it may be trying to access the old server. Click Start and "Run". In the box type CMD and hit enter. This should bring up a command prompt. at the command prompt, type: IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS (note the space after IPCONFIG) This should flush out any addresses that your pc may have cached for our server and force it to get a new one from your internet service provider, which should now be the correct one.

Chesterfield Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Or - open up a command prompt, as above and try the following command: Ping www.350z-uk.com what ip address is your machine trying to reach? you should get something like the following on the first line: "pinging 350z-uk.com [XX.XX.XXX.XXX] with 32 bytes of data:" Can you advise what numbers your pc shows instead of the XX.XX.XXX.XXX above ?

Guest Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Option 1 failed, tried twice, says function failed during execution. Opt 2 no is 94.76.203.122 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wasn't there another member last week having a similar issue? Worked fine using Safari on his phone. But on his laptop he couldn't get any browser to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I caught sight of that on a friends pc last week but can't find thread now to see if it offered a solution. Also tried .net but same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sounds like DNS has gone astray somewhere. If you use the IP address (94.76.203.122) instead of the address, does everything work ok? Might be worth Googling how to check your DNS settings and perhaps using someone like Google or OpenDNS. It might be your ISP has crappy DNS servers.

Chesterfield Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 DNS must be working correctly though, becasue 94.76.203.122 is the right address for the server. so if pinging www.350z-uk.com returns that IP address, I cant see how it would fail Very strange indeed - will have to do some more research.

Depends on how **** the ISP (or whoever's) DNS servers are. It might have the right IP but that doesnt mean the lookup always works. If their servers are ropey then it might return misses from the cache lookup even when it does know the right IP. OpenDNS/Google might solve it, worth a punt. If not we are into ever more hardcore solutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Might also be worth checking the hosts file stored on his PC. Its very unlikely that an entry would of been made but i have seen some third party programs use this. Hosts is locted in c:\windows\system32\driver\etc if its windows 98 or windows7, i think win 2000 was slightly different Go to that location and double click hosts and then open with notepad, make sure there is no entry for and of the clubs domains. Also restart your router might sort out the caching issue with your ISP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Also restart your router might sort out the caching issue with your ISP Good call, it might have cached it. Odd though that sometimes it makes the hit and gets the right IP and sometimes fails. Guess the router could be having a tantrum or on the way out.

Madmarky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Done a re boot, no joy. Try turning the router off when you go bed tonight and then turn on tomorrow and check. Virgin is very bad when it comes to cacheing, ive had problems in the past while trying to develop a website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Apologies if a bunch of people just got logged out - Im trying to find what the cause of this is, as at least 3 people are now affected, one of the table flushes may have just logged you all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Can you get Virgin routers to use something like OpenDNS? I have a habit of using it whenever I set up a new connection. ISPs can be quite shocking when it comes to DNS which is mental when you consider its the backbone of the internet! Going to try the Google DNS tonight, if its like most of their other services, I'd imagine its quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 On virgin here using there modem but my own router with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 On virgin here using there modem but my own router with no problem. The new Virgin system is a router with built in modem but if the OP has a older setup its the modem you need to restart or leav off over night.
