www.nwdnb.bc.ca 99.9%.... downtime

The site is consistantly down. Sup with that? Are you hosting the server from your basement or sumting?

[automatic]

i'm guessing you've got telus adsl....it's a problem with telus, not with nwdnb.bc.ca.....it works just fine for us shaw users. it's a shame because otherwise it's taking off with lots more activity in the picture galleries and mixes sections....and articles as well.

and don't forget nwdnb.bc.ca fundraiser at automatic tuesday march 8th

Yea I do have Telus ADSL.. have others reported this bizzare behaviour?

It's a DNS problem... I can't resolve the IP address. Can someone give me the IP address?

Start -> Run -> cmd
then type "ping nwdnb.bc.ca"
4 numbers dot-seperated will show up.. can someone tell me what it reads?

[Bitchin]

Blame telus...

but I'm not having that much of a problem with it any mroe.

could i please get the ip address from ya??

[automatic]

it's just a telus problem, was supposed to be resolved yesterday, but they're working on it....i can open it fine.

Attn: owners of the nwdnb.bc.ca website:

You should contact your webhost and let them know that your DNS is acting a bit sketchy.

http://www.mob.net/~ted/tools/dns.php3?domain=nwdnb.bc.ca&Look+up=Look +up

Some nameservers resolve it and some don't (which would explain why shaw's works but telus's doesn't). However, the ones above that do resolve it are giving the IP address of some other website (123-studio Web Design).

Anyways, I hope this helps! nwdnb.bc.ca is a great site!! keep up the good work!!!!

telus historically has had problems with their transparent proxy/dns
especially when they bring up new peers
don't worry about it
they always eventually fix it
they're just union

And if you reeeeeally want the IP to try and force it: 65.75.150.80

[rawb]

wont work, it's vhosted
youd have to add it to your hosts file on your local computer so it can send the right headers

[mapleleaf4ever]

heh heh And right now he's going "hosts file?"

[rawb]

nerd workaround

if you really want it to work try this:

open the following in notepad:

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts


should look like the following:

###
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
###


to the bottom of the file add:

###
65.75.150.80 nwdnb.bc.ca
###

Theoretically that should work, though i dont have a telus connection to try it on.

65.75.150.80 != North West Drum and Bass

Its some webhosting company.. its virtually hosted somehow..

yes it is.

1 ip can serve multiple websites. since you're not sending a http header with a domain, just an ip, it brings up the default website.

ahh yes my apologies .. you're totally right.

I wrote this script a while back that allows you to create your own http requests (found at http://diversedev.com/software.php).

If you do a get request on 65.75.150.80 and append host: nwdnb.bc.ca to your header, you get a response...
