Nildram user here.

When I click your link I see the following:

Thanks for that Stoofa, doesn't work for you either then. If a non-Nildram user could post a pic of what they see too that'd be a big help, i'm guessing he/she will not see what me and you see.

Thanks mate. Now, whats the problem with Nildram and what can I do to fix it?

Jofujofu · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:01

Nildram user here, just to confirm I also see what Stoofa does.

If somebody who is seeing the later of the two websites can run an NSLOOKUP on the domain name:

C:\>nslookup www.civictype-r.co.uk
Server: lon1-dns1.nildram.net
Address: 213.208.106.212

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.civictype-r.co.uk
Address: 64.74.223.198

Lets see if we're getting to the same server to start with.

Its working for me, here's an nslookup:

Server: cache2.ntli.net
Address: 194.168.8.100

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.civictype-r.co.uk
Address: 212.241.196.113

loltim · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:09

I don't know what this means but here's mine:

Server: www.routerlogin.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.civictype-r.co.uk
Address: 64.74.223.198

:confused:

I'm not a Nildram user, but I can still poke their servers. Looks like Nildram has some stale DNS records on one of their servers. Mind you, I can no longer contact them, so they've probably sussed me out.

red11 · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:13

Nildram user, website doesn't load up at all.

Edit: Using the IP address, I get the same as Stoofa.

Berserker · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:14

Ve haf vays of making servers talk...

Using domain server:

http://212.241.196.113/ works.

Thanks Berserker

Edit- I can't login to the forum though, bah

LoadsaMoney · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:22

Saw the same as Stoofa on AOL.

ruffneck · 20 Sep 2006 at 22:43

OK, looks like we are getting somewhere as there is definitely a difference of opinion on the IP address of where the site should be.
I wonder if they have moved servers recently or changed hosts - although 2-3 days is a long time for DNS to sort itself out.

I'll drop Nildram a line and explain the issue about their DNS servers disagreeing which hopefully should solve the issue for Nildram users.
It won't fix the AOL users though as Nildram are not authoritative on the domain.

Unfortunately you won't be able to access their forums via IP address.
As soon as you get in a new page will be generated for you which will resolve to the wrong IP address and we'll be back to square one.

*Edit*
I've dropped Nildram support an e-mail.
They aren't as quick or fast as they used to be, they hopefully will be able to solve the issue for Nildram users though.

freeserve/wanadoo/orange user, the site gives me what stoofa is getting :confused:

Just checked, and I'm now seeing what I should be

Maybe they've sorted it?

I'm not at home at the moment so I can only try the link on our leased line - which gives me the page I'm apparently supposed to see.

Nildram support have replied to me this morning telling me they can see an issue and have fixed it.
They have also specified that the two name servers that Nildram users should be using with their ADSL service:

213.208.106.212
213.208.106.213

If for any reason you're not, then manually configure to use these.
