Beenthere Posted June 25, 2009 ID:93062 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi,I cannot access www.besttechie.netI'm lost and I will list out what I have tried so far:1. Checked the router settings, everything is fine there2. Tried clearing the cache, still can't access3. Thought the problem is with my ISP but I asked another guy who has the same ISP as me, he could access the site4. When I ping besttechie.net all packets are recieved5. Here's the tracert log6. Tried both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox7. When I put in the IP instead of the name of the site, I get this And when I click on any link, it doesn't work8. I thought it might be something in the hosts file. So I opened it and found no traces of besttechie there. I also "disabled" the HOSTS file (I use both mvphosts and spybot's immunize function) but to no avail9. With using a proxy site (www.hidemyass.com) I can access the web site10. I'm 99% sure I'm clean of malware Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenthere Posted June 25, 2009 Author ID:93111 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Did you have to use OpenDNS or no?BNope, I didn't change anything. Using OpenDNS = configuring my router with their servers right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besttechie Posted June 25, 2009 ID:93118 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Nope, I didn't change anything. Using OpenDNS = configuring my router with their servers right?You don't have to do that necessarily to use OpenDNS, you can do it on a per computer basis through the networking settings. Here are instructions on how to setup it up on a per computer basis on various operating systems: https://www.opendns.com/start/computer/B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 26, 2009 Root Admin ID:93484 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Actually quite common with hosting providers especially with sites on a shared plan. See it all the time where a site is offline/won't respond for a minute or two but if you go back a few minutes later it's fine. ISP tells you, nope nothing wrong, but if you have on full logging you can usually pickup in the logs where there are breaks in activity if the site is often busy.

I'm on a dedicated server - I haven't used a shared hosting company in years.It's definitely not a problem with the server being overloaded if that's what you were implying (see the specs below):Intel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besttechie Posted June 28, 2009 ID:93980 Share Posted June 28, 2009 As for why this is occurring I'm not too sure (and it doesn't appear to be a very wide spread problem). I don't see any issues on my end but I will continue to look and monitor the situation.B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
