(I think there is an analogue in Windoze somewhere in or around the Windows folder). Unless your registry has a screwy setting (which can be changed of course), your system should look there before running off to DNS.<BR/><BR/>This doesn't solve your problem with ATT DNS (though openDNS might) and it won't help you if ATT can't route packets to the IP address.<BR/><BR/>It should help you reach web server with the proper headers if your only problem is DNS and you can actually reach the address.<BR/><BR/>==pt==Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747975626024743839.post-57387741953531886072009-03-03T21:34:00.000-08:002009-03-03T21:34:00.000-08:00Well I thought of that but a traceroute would show...Well I thought of that but a traceroute would show that the packets were stopped at comcast and I'm not getting beyond ATT. Also because my server is in the DMZ I should also be outside the office firewall rules. lastly I forced a lease of a new IP address on my router here so effectively changing the IP address that was in use when i was blocked. We are all good on the server and on comcast.<BR/><BR/>I'm also good with just the one IP.

In fact we still have all those extra IP addresses we aren't using since Comcast never gave us any help on that one. Were you ever able to assign one of them to yours ... ? I remember something about yours being DMZ or something.... maybe we're (Comcast on our end) blocking you?Cheryl L Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539836323199773720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747975626024743839.post-32633291268112771472009-03-03T20:27:00.000-08:002009-03-03T20:27:00.000-08:00I have 5 websites on a server in NH.

Then for no reason other than being connected to the server from my home computer using 3 different vehicles, the IP address I'm connected to disappears from ATT's DNS. No pings, no traceroutes, no nothing. I can get to it through anonymizer's and such. <BR/><BR/>I just might try that open DNS. Its the only websites I know of that I can't get to. Its sort of sad since it is my server.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the advice. Now I just need to see if the ATT router freaks at a non att DNS server.<BR/><BR/>TimTim Niedfeldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979010561771683678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747975626024743839.post-59316179027751757812009-03-03T20:05:00.000-08:002009-03-03T20:05:00.000-08:00Is the IP addr unavailable or is ATT's DNS servers...Is the IP addr unavailable or is ATT's DNS servers not able to translate your URL to an address?<BR/><BR/>If I understand your problem correctly (I once had a similar situation with TDS Metrocom in Madison): <BR/><BR/>You might try pointing your router to use OpenDNS for your DNS nameservers....<BR/><BR/>See https://www.opendns.com/start/<BR/><BR/>nameservers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.<BR/><BR/>=pt=Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747975626024743839.post-62805297038793577942009-03-03T19:05:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:05:00.000-08:00Umm yeah, right! no way would we sit in the dark. ...Umm yeah, right! no way would we sit in the dark.
