Post the IP address for the forum. Our work internet has spazzed out and can't resolve the domain name and IE just freezes, so I'm using my phone at the moment.
I've tried just the IP address of 78.129.179.192 but that just takes me to the cPanel page of the server.
I'm sure some clever geek knows what I mean.

Perhaps you could just go a few hours without posting?

The IP address is right, but the way the ISP resolves the IPs is strange as fuck, and means nothing apart from the root, and ftp give access via the IP. From what i remember the actual IPs are based in the US but the server is UK, so if you can perform a tracert, i expect you'll get the correct IP. I would try to do it, but for some reason my tracert, or my cmd, i should say, is up shit creek.

I can't tracert, ping or nslookup so it looks like someone's removed the TEF from our DNS.

tracert ends up at the address given above.
I'm guessing this is a shared server and there is some method they are using to direct the "thetownend" domain to a particular directory (or another server) that we can't see?

If I asked what the fuck you were all talking about would that make me look like some sort of Luddite idiot?

No it's a VPS. Unfortunately, shared would be unlikely to cope with this forum! And it did have it's own IP, but it's now shared with some other stuff, including the server domain and http://dawnofthejed.com. I'm surprised the Traceroute didn't end at at different IP, because when i first got the server i got annoyed at that fact that i was paying for a server in London, which was infact showing as Michigan...  That is the IP! No traceroute is needed! They gave me some other IPs, for my DNS (i think) that were Michigan based. And yes Yeovil Blue (and all the other new repliers), it is running slow. It's also crashed a few times i believe. I'm getting onto support now, because some cunt is clearly giving the server too much to do. |

So anyway for future reference, what is the path to the TEF our DNS is down? Obviously thetownend and dawnofthejed redirect to different locations on the server, so http://78.129.179.192/index.php won't work. |
