Problems with Matrix Forums?

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

As I suspected my work ISP still has problems...


The only (quick) way I can do is to manually enter the true MatrixGames IP into my table...


Thus:

Go to

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

edit the

hosts

file and enter

64.111.28.20 matrixgames.com
64.111.28.20 www.matrixgames.com

It's OK now (17:00 GMT) but I couldn't access Matrix from at 08:00 GMT until about an hour ago. A site wanting to sell the URL but advertising wargames came up instead.

had the same problem yesterday, no problem today obviously

I spent the bulk of yesterday being unable to reach the forum and instead I also landed with Network Solutions with the same message.  I wanted to post in my WITP AAR, couldn't, and had no turns to do.  Withdrawl..............Then last night I finally was able to get to the forum, and got a turn.  PHEW!

At a command prompt, try:

ipconfig /flushdns

That may help.

I was unable to access the website for most of yesterday (Sun. 12-13). Obviously I'm having no troubles tis morning, but I got the ISPs domain registration page all of yesterday. Someone forgot to pay the bill? lol [:D]

It freezes up now and then, so I have to delete cookies to move on.

Hi all,

Guys, as a stopgap measure you can always do what I wrote few messages above (i.e. override the DNS of your ISP with entry on your PC)!

Scared the life out of me. No Matrix, my life is coming to an end.

Some people are ending up at Network Solutions telling them that the domain name registration has expired and it needs to be re-registered.

This happened to me at work[;)]
