Author Topic: A little help regarding my site... (Read 5468 times)

I moved my site to a new server and slightly new URL. Five people so far have assured me that the site is up and running, but I, of all people, can't see it. I get an error message every time. (I use IE 6.0 before you ask) I've tried my computer at home and the multiple computers for work, and nada--just an error message. So, if you could, help me out and just click the link on my signature and tell me if the site came up for you.

Fine for me

I'm seeing it just fine, Adam.

Have you cleared your cache? Betcha any money that your machine still thinks gameshowutopia.com still resolves to the old IP address. I'd do two things: clear your IE cache (and would you PLEASE nut up and switch to Firefox?

). and open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns" to flush your DNS cache. Between those two I bet you'll start seeing the site.

(Also, if you just did this, it does take DNS information time to propogate, so it might not have gotten to the DNS servers you're using yet. If the two things I suggested above don't do it, give it a day and see if it works then. They say it can take 72 hours for DNS changes to propogate, but I actually moved fredsmythe.com last weekend and I found it was all said and done in a day's time.)

Works seemlesly for me too; and Chris already answered your technical problem much better than I could.

Thanks for the tech help, Chris. I did both and still nada, although maybe there's a possibility I haven't stumbled upon. I can't access golden-road.net either, which is the same provider (Wiresix). This was never a problem before I moved my site. Is there any fix you or the other boys and girls out in Forumland might know for this that doesn't involve calling Wiresix?

Since most of us seem to be able to get there just fine, thank you, I doubt the problem is on Wiresix's end. Have you power cycled all of the hardware on your end, your router, DSL modem, cable modem, whatever? I still get the feeling something goofy is being cached or you have something set wrong.
