How many of you are still having trouble getting onto the Org?
I get the default sign most of the time.

I seem to find that when I switch on my work PC, go to the ORG, then the forum, I get a quick response with the Plesk page only.

Shut down browser, go to command prompt (in Run as Administrator mode in Vista), and:

C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /flushdns
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup forum.caithness.org
Server: dns1.st-and.ac.uk
Address: 138.251.66.46

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: forum.caithness.org
Address: 81.29.75.113

Forum still does not work
Close browser and try again.

C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /flushdns
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.


C:\Windows\system32>nslookup forum.caithness.org
Server: dns1.st-and.ac.uk
Address: 138.251.66.46

Non-authoritative answer:
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Name: forum.caithness.org
Address: 87.106.70.12



Now it works, and I notice that initial connections to the forum shows a "Looking up forum.caithness.org" for a couple of seconds before a successful connection is made.

So, is the problem that the forum does have a new IP address and the DNS system has not settled down, or is it a local PC issue?
I am tending to see the same problem on multiple computers running both XP and Vista and from work and home (so different ISPs).

I did try connecting to http://87.106.70.12/ but just get an error message.
Presumably the server is running in VirtualHost mode and requires the "forum.caithness.org" to tell it which website to serve up.

Wonder why some people are connecting ok and others arn't, anyone have any answers. :)
