It redirected me to a web domain name site.. like a dns error

I had before 12:00 AM CET no problem. And around 17:00 to 18:00 CET I had a domain site. And now from 19:50 CET I have no problem

Hi al,

I'm not having any problems accessing Matrix today or last night - but I am getting emails from number of people saying they cannot access - are there any people who have had intermittent issues? Is Matrix making any changes? Again, I have had zero issues - but I am hearing reports from multiple people who are having issues.

Joe, I think it all depend on the ISP provider...

I use several ISPs and some of them have problem (instead of matrixgames they send me to some ".com" site with advertisements) - my main one is OK (I am writing this from that ISP right now).

The problem is that my work ISP has problem... I will see how things will be tomorrow at work...


Thus, I think this is some weird DNS issue/problem!


PING from my main ISP:

www.matrixgames.com = 64.111.28.20


PING from one of my other ISPs (remotely on my workstation at work):

www.matrixgames.com = 209.62.105.19

Yep, there was some kind of DNS issue - once we became aware if it, it took a couple of hours to get it all resolved. Did not seem to affect everyone and should be entirely resolved now.

Erik, I just re-edited my post and wrote the different values I get from my ISPs... weird...

No acute problem. However, I have had the same problem for years that I've heard others complain about.

Basically, for a few minutes at a time the forum does not respond. Particular problem when trying to submit a post, attach a file, etc.

I know the problem is not on this end because I've experienced it for so long that I have by now changed computers, houses, service providers, and even states. I've presumed it is something on the Matrix end or their service provider.


EDIT: This very post (prior to editing) took 3 minutes 'waiting for matrixgames.com' to post after I hit 'OK'.

I should also point out that I have no such problems with any other sites whatsoever.

I've had that problem very intermittently myself. I attribute it to a temporary high level of server activity. It used to happen more often - now I only experience it about once every 3 months. When it used to happen more often, I got into the habit of composing my longer posts in note pad and then cut/paste to matrix, but dramatic reduction in issues over the past 18 months has gotten me "lazy"again - so I lost one post a few weeks ago. But problem does not happen to me very often since about 18 months ago.

Still get the problem several times per day. There was a period of a couple of months when it got better, but it went back to bad. BTW, it's not just when posting, even just click on a thread or try to refresh the forum.

And drinks, several drinks seemed to help in certain situations.

I had the problem this morning.  I ended up at a Nework Solutions page.  Working now, obviously I'm here.
 

[Yakface]

It's still happening on and off for me.

[Feinder]

I got the Network Solutins page as well. Obviously ok now tho (or else I wouldn't be here).

-F-

I have had trouble off and on all day.

My first thought was Matrix was sold. [X(]

I couldn't get here this morning, then in the afternoon I could, and tonight I couldn't again for a while. [&:]

I've been having problems accessing Matrix Games through Explorer, but not through AOL.  Also, I've found that once the problem is fixed I still have to close out of Explorer and re-open it to gain access to Matrix Games. At the moment the problem seems resolved.  I am curious, though, about what's been going on,

It is now 11:50pm EST and I was not allowed on to now. [:@]
