I am having a problem, not sure if its my computer or my isp and not sure what to check. The problem is when I try to access my web site from my home computer, it doesn't always find it if I use the www in the addy. Other times it finds it with the www but not without it! Sometimes doesn't find either and sometimes finds both. I can access other sites without any problem, and others can access my site without any problem. Has just started happening past week or so. Have run some programs to try to fix ie: Symantec System Works One Button Checkup Symantec System Works Disk Doctor Symantec System Works Win Doctor Symantec System Works Anti Virus (full scan) Ad-aware Full Scan Hi-jack this Sometimes one of these seems to fix temporaraly (but doesn't say it has found anything) until I reboot computer, then problem returns. Have had someone look at my registry but can't find anything obvious in there causing problem. Have also checked DNS report and all is fine there. Done a tracert and here are results C:\Documents and Settings\Family>tracert fra-designs.com Tracing route to fra-designs.com [69.50.177.114] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 757 ms 761 ms 752 ms 254.reserved.callplus.net.nz [203.184.24.254] 2 1044 ms 961 ms 751 ms 173.reserved.callplus.net.nz [203.100.221.173] 3 1042 ms 992 ms 902 ms pvc800.mr2.akl.tranzpeer.net [202.180.65.97] 4 823 ms 769 ms 752 ms f0-0.5.cpiak1-r1.tranzpeer.net [202.180.64.71] 5 1024 ms 1303 ms 902 ms 61.14.140.81 6 1385 ms 1102 ms * po3-3.gw1.sjc1.asianetcom.net [202.147.55.194] 7 1321 ms 972 ms 1424 ms ge4-1.cr02.sjo01.pccwbtn.net [206.223.116.48] 8 1463 ms 962 ms 761 ms webusenet.ge3-5.2.br01.sjo01.pccwbtn.net [63.218 .7.126] 9 * 1280 ms 962 ms unknown63223030010.ibis7.net [63.223.30.10] 10 1134 ms 1524 ms 1133 ms unknown63223030130.ibis7.net [63.223.30.130] 11 1192 ms 771 ms 1534 ms cheetah.unixsd.info [69.50.177.114] Trace complete. C:\Documents and Settings\Family>tracert www.fra-designs.com Unable to resolve target system name www.fra-designs.com. I am asking my ISP provider now too but so far no luck. Not sure what else to try or where to look now. Thanks Ange This post has been edited by FRADesigns: Feb 28 2005, 10:11 PM |

Does it always find it if you use the IP address directly? Sure sounds like a misbehaving DNS.
Try using the following temporarily as your DNS servers: 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)/Properties/General tab -------------------- Derfram

Thankyou for that, I will pass this onto my brother who knows more than me and get him to check it out for me.
I heard back from my ISP provider and he says everything seems to be alright from thier end. He suggests looking into the web server for my site. Will check that too. Do you know if there are any settings on my computer that could be doing this or a virus that may have done it? Thanks Ange |

Enter the IP address (69.50.177.114) in your browser's address window just as you would a domain name.
Does that ALWAYS bring up the site or does it also fail occasionally? If using the IP ALWAYS works, then it is definitely a DNS lookup problem. See http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial28.html for a tutorial on DNS. Most ISPs use multiple DNS servers, and the actual server you get will be somewhat random. If the ISP has 3 servers with good info, and one with bad, then you will get bad info 25% of the time. Changing to a different know set of DNS servers as I suggested will help prove/disprove that possibility. -------------------- Derfram
