Thumbs up Server not found....(Problem Resolved)

ADMINS, please help! for some reason, i can no longer get connected
to this wonderful site from my laptop. yesterday, there were some
random issues, but i still could connect and browse the threads. today,
when i try and connect, i get the above message. i'm creating and posting
this thread using my work PC/Network. my laptop uses a Sprint Wireless
Network card. my default browser is Firefox (1.5.0.4), but i've also tried
IE (6.0 sp2); neither will connect. i've disconnected, rebooted, cleared
my cookies/temp. files/cache and just about everything else i can think
of. any suggestions?

-brian

Same thing happened to me last night from home. Couldn't get in until almost midnight. Juan told me to try this: go to xoutpost.com, and do a Ctrl + F5... That should clear out your history and load up the latest version of the site.
I never had to though.

I was flipping out that I couldn't get in. Sucks huh, and of course, one of my favs here, sent me an email - OMFG - did you see that last post...oh, sorry...

try clearing your DNS cache too...

- close all browsers
- Start/Run type CMD, (enter)
- at the prompt type ipconfig/flushdns (enter)
(type exit to close)

probably won't have to restart. good luck!

Your ISP probably hasn't received the DNS update for the site now that it has moved.

The ip addresss for the site is now 207.210.230.186.

do a tracert www.xoutpost.com from your laptop and see if it resolves to that address.

If not, do a ipconfig /flushdns
then tracert again

still no luck after flushing the DNS.

pinging the above IP Adress resulted in replies.
4 replies from that same IP Address.
4 packets sent, 4 packets received.

what address is www.xoutpost.com resolving to? the site will respond to the addresss above, try putting the ip address into the browswer address bar and see what happens.
