Since yesterdaymorning I wasn't able to get to the Depot... [&:] All I got was the following message:




[font=helvetica]

Network Error (dns_server_failure)

[/font]

[font=helvetica]Your request could not be processed because an error occurred contacting the DNS server. [/font]

[font=helvetica]The DNS server may be temporarily unavailable, or there could be a network problem. [/font]

BC01.

Well, we did have some serious errors in our DNS zone files, from when the server was created. Somehow a few entries used for testing and setup were not removed before they gave me the keys.

Those errors were fixed, right around the time you started having your problem Henk, so I'm betting something else got screwed up in the process. Oh, and FWIW, Whitmire can connect now, so at least we're getting some results.

After trying the link to the depot forum at the top of the depot homepage, I'm in again! [:D]

If it happens again, we'll need you to do a traceroute to figure out the problem. The way to do this is to open a DOS window and type traceroute spwaw.com then paste the results here. That will enable us to see just where the problem lies.

Will do, Bernie! .... Though I hope it won't be needed! [;)]

Bernie. There is no traceroute in some windows versions. Example my XP pro don't have one.

I find that hard to believe!  traceroute and ping are two essentials of any tcp/ip service setup.

I'll look into this further and get some answers.

This is Windows XP with SP1. Ping is working but some reason there is no traceroute on Dos console.

seems to be down again

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

No luck on getting on...my browser just locks up.

Ok sorry to interrupt but I don't want to open a separate thread about it. Can anyone here tell me what email is required to register on The Depot? My gmail and one more Polish account does not work. [:(]

Tried your alternate domains links worked for me. For me though, I have to use your link at the matrix forum to get to the Depot. To directly search for it with my browser "as you have given" http://207.210.116.165, http://www.spwaw.org/ does not work.
