    Problems Getting On Site?

    Has anyone been having trouble getting on the site? It has been hit or miss for me since before New Years, mostly miss.

    There was an issue back on 12-28-11 but Alex has fixed that problem. Are you still having an access problem today?

    I am at work and am able to get on. Yesterday I could get on from work but I couldn't get on from home. I think I have been able to access the site from home once in the last 10 days or so.

    Recon has been trying to get on for a couple of weeks and gets a long pause to load then nothing. He is locked out.

    I verified that I can no longer access from my computer at home. I need to try my wife's computer. Right now I can only access from my work computer.

    No problems here, and for some reason when there is a site problem, I am the first to find out by not being able to get in!!

    Same here. Site times out when logging in from home, but I can get on at work just fine.

    I\'m actually accessing this page through a proxy server right now. But if I enter \"gunsnet.net\" directly in the address bar it errors out, says \"The server at www.gunsnet.net is taking too long to respond.\"

    More info: It looks like it might be a DNS issue.

    Both my local DNS provider and Google DNS show the IP address for \"gunsnet.net\" to be: 71.42.211.58

    But when I put that IP address in through a proxy server, it brings me to a mail server login page???

    I though DNS was Denial of Service but this must be something different.

    ltorlo64, I suggest you send a PM to Alex (gunsnetadmin). He should be able to help you get reconnected.

    Steve, Thanks for the tip. I sent him a PM on Facebook but I don't know how often, if at all he checks there. I didn't even think about sending a PM from work until you mentioned it. It is off so I will see what magic he can conjure up!

    Its not a DNS issue on our end or at Time Warner's end here in S.A... the page you are getting is correct because 71.42.211.58 is the correct IP to the server but not to the gunsnet forum. The page you got to was a redirect I created for paid (?) members to get a gunsnet email account. If you were to put the correct subdirectory and page to access after the IP, you would get to the forum but thats not something I'm giving out.

    I have applied security changes but I dont think that would cause IP's to be blocked. I would have that listed in a log file that gets appended to when a ip is blocked.

    first try this...
    go to a command prompt as an administrator and type:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    try gunsnet.net...


    If not.....

    Get me the following info:
    www.whatismyip.com - get me your IP address.


    if you can get to a command prompt in Windows (I'm assuming thats what you're using) and type:
    traceroute gunsnet.net
    nslookup gunsnet.net

    give me that output.

    then do this:
    notepad %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts

    Look in there for anything that has a IP address and gunsnet.net in there.. if so, delete that entry.

    Yeah, I just confirmed, the DNS here at work points to the same IP address. So that can't be the problem.

    I'm going to try to login at home by typing in: http://www.gunsnet.net/forum.php and see if it lets me in with a full URL, instead of just the domain name, which is all I've been trying before.

    If not, I'll use the proxy server and PM you my traceroute and IP info, and I'll check my HOSTS file as well.

    dont forget to try ipconfig /flushdns on your machine at home.

    if that doesnt fix it, go thru my post above.
