Still Can't Find amigaworld.

works fine for me.

kofts-Computer:~ koft$ nslookup amigaworld.net

ns1.nameserverservice.com       internet address = 69.64.44.20
ns2.nameserverservice.com       internet address = 217.172.191.8

try going directly to the ip instead, and see if that works, if it does, it's probably DNS problem.

You may need to contact your ISP..

Are you using an Amiga, Linux or Windows system ? Give us a bit more info about your system.. Also, if you have a router, then give some info about that as well.

Im on windows xp with an ntl broadband canection through a ethernet broadband router with one other pc connected i dont have any problems accessing any other sites just amigaworld i just get a blank screen.

Well, we can rule out ISP problems I think for now.

Have you tried cleaning the cache/temp internet sites ? Sounds to simple to try, but has worked before to solve these kind of problems.

Also, a bit related, if you go to start -> run and type CMD you get a nice console window.

Make sure you're in the root (C:\) and type

del /s *.tmp

This will delete all files in all directories ending with tmp that aren't in use (quit as many programs as possible when doing this). (Use at your own risk, some file sharing programs and programs like DAP use .tmp files as well)


If the above doesn't work type the following in the same console box;

ping www.amigaworld.net

You should get a reply from 69.64.33.58.

Let us know what happens.

Well I got a reply;

Well I got a reply;

Pinging www.amigaworld.net [69.64.33.58]

Well, it's not a DNS problem then.

Did you try the other suggestion ?


You mentioned a second PC on the same router ? Does it have the same problem ?

Can you get to http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/ ?

Exactly the same here

[grimlock]

Cant get to http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/ just get a blank page.

not yet, thing is, this is a fresh windows xp install today, but still the same amigaworld problem as yesterday.
 
well i cant access the other pc as its in my flatmates room and he's gone to bed.

hey seer thanks for trying to help me out.

[seer]

Exactly the same here

You're on ntl broadband as well ?

hey seer thanks for trying to help me out.

No probs.. But if HopperJF has the exact same problem and is using the same ISP then it's a good bet the problem is with your ISP, tho Í can't think of a reason (except if you connetct through a proxy/ISA server but I doubt that).

Try contacting the servicedesk of your ISP, explain the problem and tell them the results of the ping command. I suggest emailing them and not calling them, that seems to work better with most servicedesk..

[grimlock]

OK Ill try that tomorow, and thanks again for your replies.

[Holley]

BTW I'm on NTL boradband (600K), and havn't had a problem at all.

If you're using xp try using mozilla.

You really shouldn't be using IE with windows unless you like to live dangerously!

If you get a reply from that ping and mozilla doesn't work then your ISP must be allowing ICMP but disallowing HTTP from amigaworlds IP. ..... for some strange reason.
