Problems accessing forum

Well it doens't work on mine. And if it doesn't work for some people, it means it still stands a good chance of happening to you too. Besides, I'm a curious cat, and would like to know what's wrong lol.

I've been having the same problem for the past two days. Of course I know nothing about computers so I just ignored the problem and checked back on it after a few hours. It would start working and then it would stop. At least I know I'm not alone in this.

If you're so bored and can't stand not being on this board, check out a public proxy if your ISP doesn't have one already.

im pretty sure its the boards problem, the server is screwed up or they are messing with the boards options and its down for some reason.

i just hope it gets fixed soon :P cause i like this place

It might be a DNS configuration problem.

Hence the broken link if you actually visit any thread inside the forum OTHER than the main forum index.

[whitelotus]

um, everyone on the net has a dns configuration problem ? i doubt it, its not just one person with this problem, its pretty much everyone

its a forum system error, it keeps going to megastat.com

[Darorinag]

Domain name servers (DNS) translate domain names to IP addresses. Which means that if the DNS configuration for this domain is wrong, it will not function properly...

heres an alternative method:

1) Goto your windows directory\system32\drivers\etc
(i.e. c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc)

note: if you're on windows 95/98/me its in c:\windows\hosts
2) open the file 'hosts' in notepad (no extension)
3) add:
66.79.168.44 forum.armenianclub.com
to the end of the file, on a new line, below
127.0.0.1 localhost

save the file and you should be allset, if it doesn't work then you might have to restart

okie, i have windows 98,
there is no file named ' hosts ' in my windows thingie.

and tried the system32, drivers,
there is a gmreadme file on notepad, would that happen to be it ?

if you are still having a problem accessing the forum, you need to re-do this procedure (maybe a few times):

and restart the computer afterwords.
