Like Andrewas said, it probably isn`t the machine, since it`s been through a format. Which leaves *drumroll*... The ISP or A format-surviving virus. Most likely the ISP, though- viruses are atleast a little more destructive than this, usually... |

Yeah, that is all I can think of too.. maybe his ISP's DNS is not updated or something is screwed up in a router between his ISP and our site via nameserver DNS. I wonder, does he have AOL installed? at home? Larry has this problem too.. on many sites as well. odd.

I replied to your email about this, Felix - I asked you to check your DNS settings. Did you? I'll bet the reason you can't post is because your ISP hasn't updated their DNS servers - Lennon, Aelia and I had this problem some time ago. Call your ISP and tell them you can't connect to www.ironworksforum.com. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's not just this site that I cannot access from home, and its not that i cant post, I cannot log-in full stop.
I can't check to see if I got another email off of you yet Memnoch, but I did not get the latter one mentioned. Flix |

memnoch:
A) This isnt a DNS problem B) making an ISP tech department admit they have a problem and getting them to fix it is far more trouble that its worth. Especialy given the hosts fix lennon described. However, I am inclined to think this is an ISP problem, albeit a more subtle one. The only thing we can rule out for certain is the ESC server - because this affects other sites, plus Z promises its not the server. Also its not DNS because Felix can get into the site, just not login. Its not likley to be Felix's computer because its just been reformatted. Aside from viruses nothing survives a format unless you want it to and keep backups. Viruses - now theres a thought. Ive never heard of one that interferes in this fasion though, but that dosent mean all that mch given the variety of viruses out there. If its a good stealth virus itll also disable virus scanners whenever it encounters them. Solution there would be to get your school tech to provide you with a copy of an anivirus emergency disc. All big organisations should have one. Other than that its an ISP problem, but getting them to admit it without more information would be tricky.
