Hello everyone,

Last week, we moved our server to a new location and many of you are having problems getting on the site. This might be because your own PC still takes you to the old location (old IP address). To Solve this problem, you need to flush your DNS cache and you will be able to access this site again.

To flush DNS cache in Microsoft Windows (Win XP, Win ME, Win 2000, Win 98):-
- Start -> Run -> type cmd
- in command prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns
- Done! You Window DNS cache has just been flush.

and for those of you using Mac OS X. here are the step.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard:
Launch Terminal and issue the following command:
dscacheutil -flushcache

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger:
Type the following command in the Terminal:
lookupd -flushcache

no need to flush if you made it here successfully.

jorgek, this might help people having difficulty to get to this site using 1 computer but can get here on another computer.

FYI: If "CMD" doesn't yield a command prompt, try "command". Some versions of Windows needs the full word.

I really wish you would have pointed this out before I sent the message out to 53,000 members.:rolleyes: :D

The site was actually down for a bit today, but a "ipconfig /flushdns" never hurts. (that is for windows boxes)

As Watcher64 said, the site was down for a bit today. I'd see if it happens again before you tweak your router. I have a Belkin and it works fine even though it's less expensive than other brands.
