access problems

[briggie]

im on holiday in norfolk as most of you know , so im using a dongle , its great for all sites , except it seems this one ,i can access every site no problems , but have a heck of a lot of trouble trying to get in here , all i get is a message that says " internet explorer cannot display the page " ..... but occasionally i can get in the forum ...... i have no problems accessing any other site , only this one .... HELP

might be a DNS issue at the site where the server is hosted. you could try alternative DNS yourself, such as google DNS to see if that makes a difference?

Hi Mr Brigg, I am on a Vodafone dongle at the moment from Caravan club site at Bristol Wharf, no trouble with this site for me, I am using Firefox, the sun is shining and all is right with my world, been away caravanning for eight weeks, suppose we should go home, before the schools
break up, regards Bri

Hi pete at home I use a Dongle all the time but it is bad on Internet Explorer, the best is Opera, it is faster and no problems, Rick

Briggie, I use a mobile dongle at home and don't have any problem with it. Are you sure its not that DNS issue people mentioned?

hang Pete, i thoguht you said flushing the dns didnt work? but here you say it did, but still have access problems...im confused...im going to assuem you still get "this page connot be displayed". When you open a new browser window, do you get a "recorving your last session" message, or is it normal?

also, as other have suggested, it will be well worth trying Opera or Firefox, to eliminate the possibility its IE being a cock.

if you are saying access is random, then thats different, and probably NOT your laptop, might be something to do with Three's service/dns settings etc, another option is to change your DNS to someone else, such as google, to see if that works..

Having the same on my home connection since site upgrade originally thought site had closed not good for new members who may think the same

[clivvy]

it could be that something has gone wrong with the sites dns records, perhaps they havent replicated correctly or something with the service providers i dunno..

Guys, I am 99.9% certain that the DNS problems are not this end. During the move to the new server I kept the same IP address and DNS server names. This seems to be isolated incidents with some ISPs

You can resolve this issue on you PC by following the steps below:-

• Using windows explorer (not internet explorer) find the Hosts file which is located in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc directory.
• Right click this file and then left click on properties.
• Near the bottom in the Attributes section, make sure the Read-only box is un-ticked. If it is ticked, remove the tick and click OK.
• Now double click the Hosts file and open with Notepad. Go to the bottom of the text and add the line:-
  65.38.186.188 (then press the Tab key) www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com
  Now save and close this file.
  If this file was originally read only, follow the steps above to put the tick back in the correct box.
• Now reboot your PC and all should work
