dendrite Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The tech guys are tweaking things. The DNS has propagated for most, but there's still some out there where it may take more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo2 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The forum has sped up, but I can't go two pages without having to refresh 5-10 times to get the page to load. Common Problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerep Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Can anyone help? I can get the forum on my phone, but not on any home computer. I did the flush thing, correctly I think, and recycled the router/ modem, nothing works. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 we've seen success on the following (may be verizon specific but i think these are settings for all?) OK guys, I'm through now. FOR WINDOWS 7 USERS: -Control Panel -Network & Internet -Network & Sharing Center ...-Manage Wireless Networks -Click on your connection -Click Adapter Properties (As explained by this page) -Scroll to IP Protocol 4 (As explained by this page) -Uncheck "Obtain DNS automatically" (As explained by this page) -Use 4.2.2.1 preferred and 4.2.2.2 alternate (As explained by this page) === have Verizon FIOS and fixed the problems on my Mac. Here is how: -Go to System Preferences -Click on "Network" -In the bottom right-hand corner click on "Advanced..." -Click on the "DNS" tab along the top ...-Click on the "+" in the bottom left-hand corner next to "IPv4 or IPv6 addresses" -In the box that appears type "4.2.2.1" and hit enter -Click the "+" again -In the box that appears type "4.2.2.2" and hit enter === Switching to OpenDNS or Google DNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Also, one of our members from Comcast who cannot get in indicated he got in touch with them and their last DNS cycle was the 14th so the next should be by tomorrow should the 24-78 hr rule work.

BayStatuh2NoVA Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 On Verizon and I *was* having to use a DNS workaround. But -- as of 10:10 pm, no longer have to use the DNS workaround for Verizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm trying to help someone out using vista and it isn't working. I gave them the instructions on how to change the DNS address by going into notepad through the steps but when they hit save they get this message: Cannont create the C://WIndows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this is a good question. I was thinking of asking them this but didn't...I have a feeling this could be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickrd Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm writing this to you via a site theat hides my IP address. I have not been able to get on the American WX site for 2 days now, nor the model page. Is there a problem with my IP address or is it a matter of the new server changes. I can not access via any of my home computers but can access at my work computer. American is a great site and I'm saddened I can not access at home.Please Advise. Thanks, RIck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
