Roadrunner broadband problem with Ironworks.

[Ronn_Bman]

I know Ironworks isn't having any problems, but I've been unable to get in from home for a week now, so I'm wondering, is anyone here, that uses Roadrunner, from NC?

It isn't my machine because I can get in using a dialup.

Anybody?

B-Man When I was having problems at work with getting in, it always pointed at Tampa Roadrunner servers being the problem. thatw as as far as I could get then nothing.

I do.

I've been on the phone with tech support a couple of times since this started, but they do seem to be checking it out.

It seems to be a local problem with the DNS server in Wilmington. The tech support people not using that server can access the site, those using it can't. A supervisor is suppose to call me.

Whatever it is, it started between last Sunday night and Monday afternoon. I was able to get in for a little while Thursday night and again Friday morning, but nothing else.

Are you having any trouble, Larry?

Here in town, I've had about 7 people check and none can enter the site.

Magik, the tech who called me last night also mentioned Tampa. What city do you work in?

Im think somehow Inow have a different route though because suddenly without warning or explanation I can now access IW again from work every day of the week.

Hosts file fix should sort it.

create a file in c:\windows called hosts. It should contain one line:

24.129.133.61 www.ironworksforum.com #

Suddenly your not using a DNS server for that URL. Larry is using that same fix, otherwise he would likely be having the same problems.

[Ronn_Bman]

That one doesn't work for me Andrewas.

Again, I can connect from my machine with a dialup connection, but not with Roadrunner.

Magik, I'm hoping mine will "work itself out". Cloudy had a similar experience to yours. She couldn't get in for a week or two and then suddenly she could.

In the meantime, I've called tech support everyday.
