Sorry to post this here - if the moderators will allow it, I need to reach a good number of people from all over the world, and this is the most visited forum I know. It does concern the availability of my Poser related links, tutorials and downloads so it might be slightly relevant. ;) I've been having a lot of trouble with my site recently. Sometimes it's available, sometimes some people can see it and others can't, and the problem seems to involve DNS. If you're willing to play, I'd like to know the following from you:

• Can you see my site at http://www.morphography.uk.vu/ (link will open in a new window)?
• If you can't see the site, what do you see instead? It's probably sedoparking.com, but if it's something else, please let me know.
• What country are you in?
• Who is your ISP, if you know?

If you can't see the site, and you're willing to do a little extra for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. This is slightly technical, and may possibly have privacy implications for your network, so if you're in doubt, don't do it. You can PM the results to me if you'd rather; don't e-mail them, since I have a suspicion that my e-mail is down too. On a Windows machine, open a command prompt window (it's usually in Accessories). Type the following: tracert morphography.uk.vu and press enter. Then copy the result (it may take a while to run) and either post it here or PM it to me. Thanks in advance for your help. If you can't see the site, you should be able to get there at the alternate link http://66.118.156.161/*morphography.uk.vu/httpdocs/ (link will open in a new window).

Fine for me Bob i'm in the UK (NorthEast) using Virgin net......Steve

I am using Mozilla-Firefox 1.5.0.11

I can see your site. I arrive at the page with your banner, a dinosaur and a news post from April, 2007.

My ISP is mts.net.  When I first got DSL through my telephone company (mts), my address was "Sympatico"  but now it's just mts.net   so I don't know if my ISP works through Sympatico or not.

Here is a tracert I did in case you need it:

EDIT:  A suggestion that may help some people.

I couldn't get to bravenet.com to access my newsletter.  It turns out that it was a problem with my HOSTS file.  I got some information in HTML forum here and did a google search and found the following links which helped me be able to access bravenet again.

Thanks folks - keep them coming. I'm convinced the fault must be with my hosts, not my ISP as they originally claimed. We have two members here with BT Broadband - one can see the site, one can't! And of the two who get to sedoparking, one tracerts to bremer.net (the correct destination - that's what I get when the site is working for me) and one doesn't. Groan It's all a bit too much for my tiny brain to cope with. Is there a DNS expert in the house? - Edited to add: I've also found that I can e-mail myself successfully from Yahoo, but not from Renderosity; I'm not getting ebots either.

I see it just fine.   I'm in Wichita, Kansas USA  and use AT&T/Yahoo

Update - http://www.morphography.uk.vu/ is now working for me Bob.

Quote - Thanks folks - keep them coming. I'm convinced the fault must be with my hosts, not my ISP as they originally claimed.

You know, I used to have lots of similar trouble with my old host and like your host, they kept blaming it on my ISP. I had my site hosted with Bappy.com for years, and some of the problems that I had with them:

1. Like you, some people couldn't see my site;

2. DNS attacks on their server;

3. Long cache periods (they cached for 24 hours so any changes I made to files on my site were not seen until they emptied their cache) In addition my ISP cached too and sometimes the changes to files on my site weren't seen for 3 days!  Eventually after numerous complaints Bappy started to allow it's customers to dumb their site cache 2 times/24 hours, which helped. And my ISP started dumping their cache more frequently.

I moved my site to 1&1 Internet and have been happy ever since.  I have 500 gigs of bandwidth per month.. yes, that's 500 gigs!  And I have never had anyone complain about not being able to get to my site.  In addition to that they are a whole lot cheaper than Bappy.com.

I don't know who you host with, but you might want to look into a new host. I know there is 1&1 Internet for the UK as well. I'm not sure if the packages are the same as the one for North America though.  I have the "Home" package and it's about $4.95 per month.

If you do decide to change hosts and go with 1&1, if you do it through the following link, I get credit towards the hosting of my own site hint hint  hehe

http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=8908008

I've been really happy with them. Another nice thing is that they bill twice per year so it's not a huge lump sum to put out at one time.

Works for me. I am in mid US

OK for me too.

Did you just change your nameserver info? It might be in propagation.
If not, my first guess would be in the routing tables.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Thanks again everyone who responded. It looks as if the problem is due to some browsers thinking my site is at 212.227.34.3 when it isn't. Quite what I do about that I don't know. I haven't changed anything in that area, wouldn't know how to in fact; but maybe my hosts have broken something. This problem has been coming and going since the beginning of the month, and it's clearly time that it was fixed.

Footnote: clearly something has "come unstuck" somewhere because I'm now getting ebots from this thread, up to 12 hours late. Could blame Rendo for that, of course. ;)

works fine for me. DSL, Sprint, and Firefox.

I can see it just fine.  My ISP is Charter Communications and I'm in St Louis Missouri if that helps.

Those name servers look odd to me  - every site I've got has very similar name servers 

morphography.uk.vu NS (Nameserver) ns.serverleasing.com
morphography.uk.vu NS (Nameserver) ns1.webmasters.com

doesn't look right - I'd have expected ns1 and ns2.webmasters.com myself. The control panel for your host should let you check the current name servers, and either their help or the emails you got when you signed up should tell you what the correct name servers are. People looking for your site will get their info from the first available nameserver, so if one has the wrong info, then people will semi-randomly get the incorrect site. 

Last night I was getting the parking page, today I am getting the correct page.

  I'm in the U.S. on Bellhell broadband... in Atlanta, Georgia... no problems. Lou.

Netherlands, ISP is xs4all.nl

I get the sedoparking site, and tracert goes to te-1-2.gw-dists-a.bs.ka.oneandone.net, then it halts.

I changed the forwarder on my home server, and now I arrive at the correct morphography site.

It's possible that some DNS servers have stale records that point to the wrong site.

Can see your site. It's a bit slow tho.

Route works til "te-1-1.gw-dists-a.bs.ka.oneandone.net" with response times over 14 ms as soon as 1&1 is concerned.
