Can't connect to the URL, only the IP

Yesterday and today, for a toal period of about 12 hours, I couldn't get to the site, but now everything is okay again. Keeping my finegrs crossed and prayers.

Hrm, apparently still no love for those of us in Okinawa. Hopefully this is not a permanent thing!

Well I tried the traceroute and proxy server options with no success.

When i typed in the traceroute for EN World in the cmd prompt i got:

Unable to resolve target system name enworld.org.

It didn't give me anything else like a path so that I could see where it was bombing out.

I also tried about 10 different proxy servers on 3 different sites with no luck. What is everyone else's results with proxy servers? Is it very hit and miss or do they work 9 times out of 10?

Fortunately I've been able to use my own ISP's proxy server to get through, so I didn't have to experiment...guess I'm lucky, considering your experience.

I couldn't make proxy servers work either. But I only tried a couple (including my ISP's). I've had uninterrupted access to EnWorld for the last 3 days.... so I feel blessed.

I'm with Netspace.

Basically, it looked like Optis needed to connect to a new server... these things take a little while to propogate, but I wouldn't blame them... if was really whatever IPS was failing that was causing the problem. No reason to blame Optis, just bad info given to them

Yay Australia rejoining us!

I don't know if we have rejoined you yet LightPhoenix. At least, not completely. The only reason I am posting is because I can reach EN World from my computer at work. It looks like some of the people with other ISP's have got back online but I'm pretty sure that all Optus users are still in the dark. Hopefully they will fix it soon.
