DNS Errors

[Steve Pyro]

I haven't been able to log in here since last night - I just get a blank page / DNS error type message.  Other websites via my home ISP (on 2 different PCs) are okay.

I'm currently logged in via my work PC www connection on dial up - so a little bit unimpressed at the moment.

Any suggestions (nice ones please)

No problems here.  I just checked  http://www.dnsreport.com/ it shows that everything is fine.  It could be your nameservers are polluted in some way.

No,  But it is kinda techno babble.  :-)

It's a long job explaining DNS. 

Looking at the DNS report shows pass on everything apart from the MX record.  For web access you don't need the MX record.  The MX record is only used for e-mail.  The only other warning is to do with a posible single point of failure.

However DNS report looks at the DNS servers for clubarnage.com and not teh DNS servers your ISP provides.  It's possible that your ISPs DNS servers are at fault.

I've had similar problems to Steve, and so have Wishy and Nickliv - all of us are (or in Steve's case, were) with BT.

All seems to be OK today though.

I sent a long and detailed message to BT to which they neither acknowledged nor responded to in any way, so it's bye bye Mr BT as soon as I get another ISP signed up.

Thanks to Steve and Schizo for their help yesterday in trying to resolve the problem.

I sent them a moany email, and have had no reply either.

It's probably lodged in one of their tremendous spam filters, the ones that block emails from my wife and family, but let through all manner of penis enlargement adverts.
