Site down for some People

[Silverbolt]

Hi mates, i'm talking in msn with some friends and they said they can't acess the site, the error is "257 something"

yesterday i got this too but i've just added 'www.' before combatace.com and i got the site working fine

 

[az12121]

Today I've got that same problem.

It was error 527.

After 5 minutes I have tried again, and everything was OK.

Same here, the www. is required to access the site, and I could not log in from the home page, but could do so from inside.

[MaverickMike]

Yeah same here. Tried accessing the site from my bookmarks and it wouldnt let me. Typing the address out worked however

*Stands up in front of everyone*

 

It was me. I did it.

 

*hides smoking gun*

 

 

Truthfully though I had to make some last minute changes to our DNS records to bring a new piece of equipment online. Everything should be cleared up today if not already.

 

Windows users can run ipconfig and flush their local DNS records to get a new lookup.

 

START > RUN > Type CMD > Press [ENTER]

 

AT COMMAND PROMPT: C:\some_directory\maybe_another> Type ipconfig /flushdns > Press [ENTER]

 

AT COMMAND PROMPT: C:\some_directory\maybe_another> Type exit > Press [ENTER]

 

CLOSE BROWSER WINDOW(s) AND REOPEN

I get an error 527 ALL the time, except when I use a proxy service. What's up?

Read the post above yours and follow Eriks instructions. Works like a charm.

does not!

[+Dave]

does not!

 

It worked for me and several others.

[+Erik]

For most it does. If you're behind a router, then you should probably do a soft reset on your router and modem. If your ISP caches routes then you're probably SOL and won't be able to read this until the cache updates. Either way it had to be done and there's never a good time to do it. Trust me when I say I try to minimize downtime to an absolute minimum and try to keep the community advised of upcoming events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it was working would there be posts proclaiming my brilliance?

[ONETINSOLDIER]

ah, i didnt know about resetting the router, i'll give that a try.

and BTW, yeah Erik, yer brilliant

[WarlordATF]

I had the same problem. i thought the site was down until a websearch on bf109s brought me to the forums. The strange thing is some of you say you had to add www to get here again, well i had to remove it and then my bookmark worked fine again.

 

weird, LOL!

[+Erik]

Hopefully this is resolved for everyone. Let me know.
