Postby slashfan7964 » Fri May 21, 2010 7:48 pm

I seem to get this every now and then when I try to access the forums. What's happening?

I figured that was probably the issue. But when it happened to MediaFire I became suspicious. I thought it was my interenet. But Megadeth101 tried to access MediaFire and he had the same error.

Nothing has changed recently in regards to the DNS setup. I haven't ever seen this error with fretsonfire.org that I can recall. I'm interested if more people have, though.

I've gotten that and I remember Mon01 saying that he's gotten in too. Usually it's nothing, a refresh will get rid of it but sometimes it takes quite a while. I think Mon said he couldn't get to the forums normally, but using a proxy helped.

I see it every now and again too. I usually just ignore it, refreshing suffices.

Well you seem to be alone on that.

Perhaps the extended duration of your inabilty to access the site is due in part to a defensive measure? :laugh:

Could be an issue on your end.
Try flushing the DNS cache.
(Start> Run> cmd> "ipconfig /flushdns")
See if that fixes it.

I am pretty sure this is an issue on the user's end, because I have never got anything like this. Have you tried resetting your modem and/or router? Do you have anti-virus software running?
