Subject: spearfishlaketales nameserver problems Author: Luvirini [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:52:08 08/28/13 Wed Been having problems on and off problems connecting to spearfishlaketales for the last month or so. Cannot get name server reply and then it works again after a while. Seems like there is some sort of on and off name server problem. Firefox says: --- Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.spearfishlaketales.com. --- And nameserver says: ---- > www.spearfishlaketales.com Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com Address: 8.8.8.8 DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds.

[> Subject: Re: spearfishlaketales nameserver problems Author: Wes [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:53:42 08/28/13 Wed I don't know what to tell you. It's been working for me, and I usually check it two or three times a day, either in Chrome or IE. The voy.com server isn't perfectly reliable, but the price is right and it's not hard to administer and use. I have though of moving to a more advanced software package on the same server I use for the website, but it seems like it would be more of a headache to administer. It's never quite gotten to the point of being willing to go to the trouble to make a change, especially since I would have to update something like fifty web pages. About all I can say is to hang in there and hope it clears up. If it continues to be a problem in the long term I'll reopen thinking about moving to a different software package. -- Wes >Been having problems on and off problems connecting to >spearfishlaketales for the last month or so. > >Cannot get name server reply and then it works again >after a while. > >Seems like there is some sort of on and off name >server problem. >

[> [> Subject: Re: spearfishlaketales nameserver problems Author: Chris M [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:53:39 08/30/13 Fri I had a similar issue a week or so back where www.spearfishlaketales.com didn't resolve (using BT's DNS) but spearfishlaketales.com (i.e. without the www) worked fine and I've not had a problem with it since. It might work for you too.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: spearfishlaketales nameserver problems Author: Arthur Keith [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:55:53 09/02/13 Mon On the evenings you post new chapters, I have a problem. Chrome and firefox often have a problem finding the new chapters while IE finds them. for the last few months, this has been happening. Refreshing the browser does no good, chrome and firefox always seem to be a few hours late. >>>Been having problems on and off problems connecting >to >>>spearfishlaketales for the last month or so. >>> >>>Cannot get name server reply and then it works again >>>after a while. >>> >>>Seems like there is some sort of on and off name >>>server problem. >>> >>As some alternatives, you can try: >> >>Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 >>OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 >>Verizon/Level 3: 4.2.2.1 through 4.2.2.6 >> >> >>JW > > >I am not having any problems getting names for any >other sites, only spearfishlake tales and my normal >DNS servers are Googles DNS, but did try with my ISP:s >DNS server too and getting same result for it. > >But open DNS seems to resolve it just fine..

It has me stumped since I don't use Firefox. -- Wes >On the evenings you post new chapters, I have a >problem.
