Cant view my own forums?

[Pilky01]

I am trying to set up a forum for a friend.

Got it all sorted out and everything but I cant view them. I just get a blank screen




It works for other people and works if I view it through a proxy.

Clicky

Perhaps your isp has cached a blank page, or your isp has not yet recived the new DNS infos for your new domain name/hosting setup?

I have cleared my cache, and I don't understand the second thing (new at this)

Cheers.

See where its going, then for me who it works for its going to ... 66.197.177.69, where is it pointing for you?

194.154.164.82

Which seems to belong to these guys http://www.ripe.net/

So the problem is that its sending me to the wrong ip?

 

[Pilky01]

Its not your temporary files cache, but some ISPs cache files to save bandwidth and provide a faster service, namely AOL.

if its pointing at 194.154.164.82 it means the DNS (wikipedia it) has not had time to update, when did you register this domain name/hosting?

Yesterday, just got to wait a bit then

Thanks.

Thanks for the help

You can edit your hosts file manually, then right click/"repair" your windows network interface, then it should work immediately.

Thanks, but could you explain in to me a little simpler please

I have no idea about this sort of stuff

 

[Pilky01]

open the windows/system32/drivers/etc.

double click on the file called 'hosts'. Below the line - 127.0.0.1 localhost - add the ip and domain in the same format as the above line.

Done that and i am still getting the same.

I put 66.197.177.69 core2.org.uk

Is that right?

 

[Pilky01]

Update: I have registered another domain and used the same host and it does the same thing.

Pings the same IP and everything.

 

[Pilky01]

Google Chrome but i have tried with FF2 an and IE

All sorted now

thanks guys.
