Hello

in the last 3 days I have not been able to access the subject forum, nor the lazarus.freepascal.org site. Is it a temporary problem, or is the site dead for good?
Thanks
Enrico

Works here.

Juha

Thanks.
Is the address http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/ correct? Strange, It worked fine, but now I can't access it with IE nor with Firefox

Works from here too.

Very Wild Guess: maybe you have some sort of DNS cache issues or some bad modem/router? I used to have an awful modem/router which every few months would behave weirdly and needed a restart. Try to power it off and on again.

It is correct. It is not a browser problem for sure. It must be your service provider or firewall or whatever blocking it. Marc did some server configuration recently but I don't see how it would affect.

I get this message:
The connection has timed out
The is taking too long to
respond.
The modem works fine with all other sites (and is brand new). I tried to access id with the firewall shutdown: nothing. What would the provider do to make it take too long the access to any particular
site? It sounds unrealistic...

In fact I get a similar effect with ping :

$ ping forum.lazarus.freepascal.org
PING forum.lazarus.freepascal.org (80.123.225.56) 56(84) bytes of data. [... and then nothing ...]

The page is redirected and "ping" does not follow that redirection. (or something ?)

It is indeed a DNS cache issue, either in your router (if you have one) or somewhere else.
A modem does not cache anything.

Juha

what does

traceroute forum.lazarus.freepascal.org

give you? depending on your OS, you may have to use tracerte or tracert instead of traceroute...

Did you add it your hostfile somewere in past ?

And (if you're on windows), does "ipconfig /flusdns" resolve the issue ?

Marc

it gives:

Try opening a command prompt in the directory
c:\windows\system32
and type
ipconfig /flushdns <Enter>

(note that an "h" was missed off the parameter in a previous post)

ok the command worked but did nothing:still timed out
