Tecmaster Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Are you referring to the Tip.It homepage or the RuneScape homepage? Owner of the Quest Point Cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecmaster Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sorry about that, I got sidetracked with some other work. It seems like there's some routing issues going on at the moment. I'll poke our technical admin this way and see if he can sort things out with the host. :) Just keep trying and we'll have things back to normal soon.

Kimberly Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It didn't work for me a few hours ago. Tried to flush my dns cache, and strangely it worked afterwards. Don't know if it was coincidental or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmaster Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's worth a try for the rest of you who are having issues, I do believe our tech admins made changes to our DNS today. Open up the command prompt and run: ipconfig /flushdns Owner of the Quest Point Cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamicdude Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 sadly still nothing for me. tried the flushing thing too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MageUK Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Unfortunately there's nothing can be done about this other than just waiting for your DNS to propagate correctly. There are no other routing issues as Tec suggested, the server hasn't even physically moved. I suspect the problem is DNS caching within your system, ipconfig /flushdns used to be the way to clear this but unfortunately many applications (browsers are the main culprit here) keep their own DNS cache and it can be difficult to clear them. I've found Firefox to be a particular pain in the behind for doing this. Just because when you ping tip.it you get the new IP does not mean your browser is attempting to connect to that new IP as it likely has the old one cached. The reason the beta may work is that if you haven't visited it in the last few days, it pulls the IP for it fresh from the DNS server as its cache is out of date.
