Try any of these as alternate (secondary) DNS servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4


Finding it impossible in the evening, usually after 7pm but can be from 5pm onwards, although now and again (once or twice a fortnight) can get on up tp 10pm. Have even tried at silly oclock 3 or 4am with no success. I'm using a wireless connection to my modem in England and the same to my landlords' modem here in Spain - problem the same at both locations.
 
I have been having problems getting on since the upgrade, that has now got even worse often cant get on the site before 10/11 at night.

Can some one explain what I need to do with this DNS server thing, please.

heyup!

the idea is to make your computer use different DNS servers to the ones provided to you by your ISP, presuming the ISP is having difficulty getting this site to you. To change the DNS depends on your operating system, have you got XP, Vista or Windows 7? Or a MAC? Either way, you need to:

go into Control Panel, look for Network and Sharing centre or anything with "Network" in it. Go into that and look for your network adapter, so its either Local Area Connection * or Wireless. Click "Properties", in the white box containing lots of options, click Internet Proctocol Version 4 so its highlighted (DONT untick it) then click Properties. in the General tab, at the botom, you will see "obtain DNS server address automatically", tick the round button to select "Use the following DNS..." and enter Googles dns servers which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4, click OK to accept and close all the open windows, close your internet browser and try again.

I've been having intermittent problems too,and I don't understand how it could have anything to do with Orange as I don't think they operate over here. Thanks for the info Clive,have set that up and will see how I get on. At the moment it's ok but it is usually evenings when it goes pear shaped.
 
well i have had the odd problem of the site not being recognised but it sorts its self out after a refresh
 
only joined a few weeks ago but never a problem getting on maybe the powers that be tryin to tell ya somthing:lol:lol
 
Bat sorted mine out i did try the dns thing but didnt work you need to modify a file there is a thread on here about it mines been 100% since
 
For those who are still having problems, below is how to fix :thumb2

For Windows 2000 or XP:-
  • 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 :thumbs

For windows Vista
  • Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
  • Right click "Notepad" and select "Run as administrator"
  • Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt
  • Click File -> Open
  • Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc"
  • Change the file filter drop down box from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"
  • Select "hosts" and click "Open"
  • 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.
Now reboot your PC and all will be fine :thumb2

My screen did not show exactly what you have described, but after much searching found it and entered the numbers, all seems well so far, have logged off several times today and seem to get back on OK, time will tell , have seen Bat21's fix will not try that unless I get further problems, all I can say is Fuffin Microsoft rubbish, worst system we could ever have used but the man made the claim, now we are stuck with the worst operating system going, any one who experienced the Amiga system will I am sure agree, or even Apples, Rick
