I'm also having issues accessing the forums, more than 50% of the tiem I can't log in (login form submit just redirects back to index page without logging in, I guess it's the cookie problem you mentioned) and some of the time the domain is inaccessible for some reason. Otherwise, the forums are much faster although it often takes some 100s och milliseconds before the server responds to a request (nothing big though).

I have issues with it about 20% of the time, too. I'm on dial-up, and around central CA.

When this happens, clear your cookies, and you will be able to login.
If you can't get to the forums, use a proxy server. I've been tending to go the lazy route and use one of those proxy web sites. I've been using
http://www.anonymouse.org. It's got an annoying ad, but is much faster than the rest of the web sites I have tried.
Hack level solutions till the DNS gets fixed somehow.

Sounds like DNS problems.. the site wasn't working for me either around the time you posted this thread, wouldn't work 90% of the time. But now it works always for me, so must have just been temporary DNS resolving issues in my case.

Ping and tracert timeout for me along the way.
For the record, our old site would sometimes time out on ping as well.

Yea it must be a dns problem. Every once in a while Devnetwork.net works, but most of the time it does not.
However I can access it threw its IP.
http://216.32.90.210/~devnet/forums, as I am doing now.
During this time, I am unable to ping devnetwork.net, but I can ping it logging into one of the many servers I maintain.

I think that the second nameserver (ns2.hnjdev.com) is not resolving properly. The primary nameserver is routing to the appropriate IP.

This is not normal
Code: Select all
w3style:~ chris$ ping ns1.hnjdev.com
ping: cannot resolve ns1.hnjdev.com: Unknown host
This could be normal if icmp packets are dropped
Code: Select all
w3style:~ chris$ ping ns2.hnjdev.com
PING ns2.hnjdev.com (216.32.90.211): 56 data bytes
^C
--- ns2.hnjdev.com ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
This is not good
Code: Select all
w3style:~ chris$ dig A forums.devnetwork.net @ns1.hnjdev.com
dig: couldn't get address for 'ns1.hnjdev.com': not found
This is not good

Thank god it's not just me.
I made a post a while back about having problems ... I wasn't aware you had changed hosts. Primarily because I just can never seem to get on.
That 90% down time is fairly accurate for me at the moment. Sad really ... I really miss scanning the boards.

I was recompiling some things on the server. =)

I've put in a support ticket with the parent host to try and resolve the issue. To be clear, I believe the problem lies somewhere with how I set things up, so we'll see how it all works. =)

Did you look at the DNS report - it shows everything you need to know what's wrong with your DNS setup ...
