ipconfig /flushdns Please don't think I'm ignoring you but...

I can see replies to my thread http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106870
but I can't get in there to reply. Same message ipconfig /flushdns.

I've googled for it and realised that I should be typing in cmd in Run. I've done that, got an MSDOS box, typed in ipconfig /flushdns and <enter>.

Message comes back as " Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver cache" but no difference. It still crashes. I may not be able to reply to any replies in this thread, either. Bazza

 

Empty your temp files and delete cookies, see if that helps Bazza.

I am able to see your reply, Steve, obviously.(duh).
I will run Cleanup! and CCleaner now. Bazza

Thanks Steve. Ran them both. That also logged me off MG.
Logged in again, and all appears to be working (phew).
I was getting paranoid for a while. Gotta get my daily fix of MG. Bazza

 

I know the feeling my friend.

Steve

 

Thanks, Halo. All is well now.
See my replies #3 and #4.
I can't go 24 hours without MG.
Thanks again, Steve. Bazza

I spoke too soon.
22+ hours later, and I still can't get in the normal way.

I have to use http://208.101.7.150/forums/index.php to get in. Bazza

===

 

Yep, daily fix OK.
I have to use http://208.101.7.150/forums/index.php for each change of Forum, when going from Software, to Hardware, to Lounge, etc., as well.

Have saved that link as one of My Favourites p ) for the moment. Bazza

Baz,

Same here, the "fix" didn't work for me, if I do not put the url as you have it above, I can't get to majorgeeks. I have been shaky trying to get it to work, can't go without my daily reading of MJ.

Have a good day,

BTDT, still the same for me today. (another 24 hours gone, almost)
Dunno whether it is my tweaking, AOL.com, MG, dialup, or whatever, but I still have to use http://208.101.7.150/forums/index.php to get into Forums.

Bazza,

I am still the same too and I have changed nothing since they changed servers, so no tweaks, no nothing. I have spoofstick installed on both IE & Firefox and it never says "MajorGeeks" now, just the 208.... etc.

I have tried the old url's and get no where with them, it even ask me if I wanted to let 208..... put cookies on my computer. Since I have already OK'd MJ I found this odd too as MJ is still in my "Authorised" group.

Hope we see a solution here soon.

Have a good day,
BeenThereDoneThat

P.S. Are we the only 2 in the whole world that are having this problem? I just went to MajorGeeks.com and that showed up in spoofstick as it should not the 208.... Just when I go to the forums, even from the Majorgeeks.com.

Could the mods give us some information on this please?

 

Bazza,

Just noticed something else. I was here at the forum, logged in of course, went to Majorgeeks.com, came back here and it did not recognize me, Majorgeeks.com evidently overwrote my cookies and I had to log back in here and accpet the cookies again.

Interesting,
BeenThereDoneThat

Edit -- In fact, just went to another site without closing my browser and came back here and it did not recognize me again, had to log back in, so it seems the cookies that it is sending me are not doing anything to memorize who I am.

 

BTDT, just done a trawl of all the Forums that I visit daily. Software, Hardware, Lounge and Interesting links, in that order.

All require the http://208......... to get into them, even if you return to them after cycling through the other Forums, as I have just done now..

MajorGeeks front page www.majorgeeks.com and Must Have Free downloads http://www.majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=20 do not require the 208... ,
I assume this is because they are "read only", and no MG member can post to them.

The above URL's work fine, as stored in My Favourites.

Hope we are not the only 2 in the MG world, but it looks like it is, at the moment.

Bazza,

What I can't figure out is why the cookies are not remembering who I am when I leave one of the MJ forum sites and go somewhere else, then come back here without closing my browser?

I have tried it in both IE & FF and it is the same. I can go to anyother site and when I come back here I have to log in all over again, even if I never logged out or closed the browser.

That has never happened to me here before, I always stayed logged in until I closed the browser or ask to be logged out. I don't like having to log in everytime I go to another site and then come back here, I know it is no big deal, but I think I am logged in go to post and it tells me I am not logged in.

BeenThereDoneThat

P.S. Just had a real intersting event, went from this post to the Software forum (here at MJ http://208.101.7.150/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=21) and it logged me out, had to log in again to come back here.

 

Yep, I've had the same experience, almost exactly as you have.
Guess we'll have to wait until the mods come back to us.

The only other choice is to change all our MG Forum favourites to show as starting with http://208......... Bazza and use it everytime when I change Forums.

PS: I'm using XP Pro (SP2 + updates), aol.com (which uses an overlay / skin), over IE6, on dialup. Baz

Halo,

Thanks for the info, now I feel better, I was afraid it was something on my end. I will wait patiently to the problem is worked out. Thanks again for the info.

Have a good day,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

Just a side note I notice that with all the problems us regulars are have accessing M.G., that it hasn't appeared to slow down the darn SPAMMERS

 

Halo,

Just to keep you up to date, I booted into safe mode and did as you instructed, no joy

Will wait and see what happens on the forum end. Still love MG and love being here.

Have a good day & thanks,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

Seems to be working for me now, at least with Opera, yep Firefox Waahoooooo and even IE

 

Still not working here, I wonder if it has to do with where we are located and the servers that are in between us and MG? That is if my server has not yet got it straight, then maybe I can't until it does? Just a guess.

Have a good one,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

Halo,

Thanks so much, still the same here, no change, but seeing that it seems to be working out for others, mabe it will work out here. At least "where there is hope, there is life" I guess what bugs me most is the dumping of the cookies and having to log in each time I come here or refresh the page.

Have a good day,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

I just noticed that the login problem seems to be solved, I have gone to several othere sites and then back here and I am still logged in!!!

Progress is wonderful,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

Maybe it's your location BigBazza
lolol
abri

 

Bloody Pom's, picking on us poor Aussies. lol.

Still can't log on without using the 208......
At least 3 days now. Bazza

Bazza,

Have you heard the expresion "misery loves company"? Well, I am not glad you are still having problems, but I am glad I am not alone.

Same here, nothing has changed.

Have a good day,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

Where are you located, BeenThereDone That? Not in Australia, I guess.

I will try running ipconfig/ flushdns in Safe Mode as Halo (I think it was) suggested before I log on tomorrow. Going soon, as it is still only 4.10am saturday (yawn). Bazza

 

Baz,

I am in France. I tried the "safe mode" with the ipconfig /flushdns to no avail, did not help. Maybe I am cursed or bieng punished for spending so much time on MG

Sleep good,
BeenThereDoneThat

 

It is working again!!! ​

I noticed that the forum was offline for an "update" so I did the flush one last time and it works!!!!!

I am such a happy camper! Thanks to whoever fixed it!!!

BeenThereDoneThat

 

MG was off the air for a few minutes, just now, for maintenance.
Looks like it works for me as I just logged in to the Software Forum in the normal (pre-208....) way.

Thanks Guys, for whatever you did. Bazza

BTW, you are one of the few (only?) member I have noticed from France. Baz
PS: Just checked. All Forums are working for me. Thanks again, guys. Baz

Thanks you Halo, and more truthfully, probably Phillipp.
No probs logging in this morning. Bazza
