Merged - enw/cm access problems

[Ovinomancer]

CM still out for me. I had to do work today. This is unacceptable. I demand a refund for my free service provided at no cost to me free of charge and without payment. Hrrmmph.

Seriously, anyone figured this out, yet?

This is the first time I've been able to hit ENW in over a day. I still can't get to CM.

It sounds like a name space issue somehow though. Hopefully will rectify itself shortly.

I've randomly gotten "connection interrupted" many times the last two days, sometimes a few refreshes does the trick more often, I just can't access the site at all. Already lost some posts due to it.

Nareau posted this at CM, which got reposted to the EnWorld Live Journal. I tried it, and it worked, which got me to be able to post this here:

"Anybody who's having a problem (on a Windows box) should be able to fix it temporarily by doing this:

Open C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts in notepad
Add the following lines to the end of that file:
68.68.204.19 www.enworld.org
68.68.204.19 www.circvsmaximvs.com

This will override your DNS server, and force your computer to go to the right IP address when you visit those sites."

Mystified. Nareau's theory seems the most promising so far, especially since it applies to Cyberstreet's own website, too.

Oh, this is silly. It affect Cyberstreet's own DNS servers, which means I can't email them!

The quick fix should also work in linux by adding the appropriate lines to your /etc/host file if anyone needs that.

Damn Windows XP won't let me change that file. Do I have to copy it somewhere else, change it, and then copy it back?

 

[Knightfall]

Never mind. I got it to work.
