Anyone else still waiting for an ISP to resolve to the new host?

I'm in Ontario, Canada and can only log-in via the IP address posted.

Windows maintains its own DNS cache, so if you use Windows, try opening a command prompt and enter the following command:

ipconfig /flushdns

I learn something new everyday. Thanks, toast!
 
hm.....still have not resolve for me...
need to access via ip.
 
Thanks Ron, I see now. I didn't know what the old dms servers were so I couldn't check them.

DNF- you should really go kill the zone from your old DNS servers. Its a huge pain having to browse by IP, signing in repeatedly and having to copy the session id and ip onto any url that comes in email.
 
still cant access through domain name.
cant PM people using ip because it will always redirect me to register page.

Any advise on what i should do?
 
If you're running on a newer version of Windows, add two entries to the HOSTS file for dnforum.com

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts

Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Important: "hosts" is a file and not a directory. Use MS Dos Edit or NotePad to modify.

Add at the end of the file, the following lines:

66.132.214.10 dnforum.com
66.132.214.10 www.dnforum.com

If using XP, the updates will take place immediately ... otherwise, close all windows and restart.

Thanks for the advise. Suddenly i am able to access via the domain name without changing any thing :)
 
Sunday morning all DNS issues were corrected so I would assume all should be able to access by domain within the next 24 hours if you're not already.
