Whoa.. I've just been able to log in for the first time in several weeks...
Am I the only one who often can't acces Ironworks for long periods of time? And is there is a known solution to this problem?

The site has been down this week due to an ISP error, but many have experienced site access problems over the past several months.

Ziroc switched from a friend's ISP this week, due to the outage, to a Road Runner Business connection. This has the site back up, and will probably fix most of the problems people have had logging in over the last couple of months due to DNS issues.

I haven't been able to log in from home since mid October, but I'm back now!

I know IW has been up for quite a few hours now, but some people still can't get in for some reason. I've spoken to a few other IW members on other boards ( Willow, Sir Goulum), and they still think IW is down, cause they can't get in as we speak. Is there an explanation for this ?

Yes, DNS server update issues I assume. Give it a few more hours and they'll be able to get back on as well.

I'm not exactly sure, but I've heard others say it's a matter of the updated information spreading throughout the DNS system.

EDIT - Grojlach beat me to it...lol. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Might be possible for people to get in by the IP rather than the URL:

http://24.129.134.18

Links wont work, have to put the IP in by hand, but other than that it should be fine. If anyone cant get in by IP, then we have a problem.

It's just DNS.. It takes up to 72 hours for DNS to propagate throughout the internet ISP's.. After 72 hrs, I'll worry!
