Hi RedPhantom... still here?

http://www.poserplace.phantom3d.net/forums/index.php

I still check in there... think most folk involved in it are all busy on different stuff just now?

Cheers

When I go there I get page not found. http://www.downforeveryone.com says it's down too. Can you get on?

It's down for me, too.

I got on when I posted that link... but not now.

Which suggests a DNS or routing issue (i.e. something with propagation involved) perhaps... as opposed to a web server-side thing.

Dunno... :unsure:

Me as well...

The dust settled, thinking "what a fine home, at least for now" not realizing that doom would soon be coming in the form of a vacuum cleaner.

Hopefully they did not hire a consultant out of the western US to upgrade to a Magento-based website!  :tongue1:

It works fine for me...

Yup. Fine again here... I'd guess it was just a temporary DNS or routing issue... of some sort.

It's down for me too.

I can't get in either :( 404 error :(

I can still get in no probs... must be a routing or DNS issue affecting traffic over some networks I'd guess...

...take it you're following the same as my link above, direct into the forum?

;-) 

Yep even if I go through google still can't get in..

I'm still not able to get in

Hmmm... I've got full access still... and got an "admin" e-bot notification about new posts a short while ago too...

...so all seems okay from here.

Still no access from here.

The dust settled, thinking "what a fine home, at least for now" not realizing that doom would soon be coming in the form of a vacuum cleaner.

Down for me too.

It seems to be working now :)

For me it's still not working, it shows a google site with the message, can't find the site.

 

still nothing here. I think I remember a dns issue one other time and it took some of us a bit of time to be able to get back in.

Seems to work well here ... actually DOES work well here.

And I had completely forgotten about that place.  Must have been a senior YEAR.  I left moments behind quite a while ago, LOL!

:(  404 error again ...

ok... still not working...  

but....

when it is....  All you folk better start posting there again....  Its been so quiet lately!!

There's a "Server Not Found" not an 404-error on my screen looks very worried

Fehler: Server nicht gefunden
   Der Server unter poserplace.phantom3d.net konnte nicht gefunden werden.

So, no chance of a M4-WM? whimper

hopefully somebody's working on fixing it. But as far as m4-wm goes, if poserplace isn't up when it's finished, runtimedna is hosting v4-wm and antonia so he might show up there.

I'm using OpenDNS rather than my ISP's DNS servers. I get:

Hi Cage... how are you GTSU so to speak :)

None of your links work for me either :(

Good to see you cage! 

I'm still getting emailed e-bot notifications from admin when people are posting to the forums... so the website and webserver are online...

I just can't access the site from this French network...

Tried 2 non-US proxies - same result. Whats the IP address? - perhaps that might work.

HI Cage!! :biggrin:

Lonnie,

I looked up the IP and came up with 66.11.227.10, which is incorrect, in that it isn't the site; I haven't yet determined the actual IP   RDNA had a similar issue a few weeks ago, where the server was changed, but the IP address didn't get updated on some DNS servers; even Network Solutions had the wrong IP...

You will ping (maybe), and the last ping will be the IP Address of the poserplace server.  I can't ping the address as it shows it's non-existent.

Hmmm... probably a red herring there actually... domaintools.com is telling me there's no web front end associated with that domain.

I don't have enough IP tools on my iPhone to easily check much further...

Still not possible to connect.

Just as i wanted to dl V4 WM... :o/

 

Any news?

Keep in mind that many of the ISPs are currently doing the switch to IPv6. which will cause thinge like this to happen. Especially if your isp is not set up for IPv6 yet.

You can get V4WM from www.runtimedna.com

I can't connect to it too.  I tried to ask someone in UK to connect there, it failed too.  I think the issue is global!

@Cage, as I know, most of your stuff are hosted there.  Do you have backup?

No luck connecting from any of my browsers -- FireFox, Chrome, IE.  I am in the United States.

I have posed a problem I am having with V4WM to the Renderosity V4WM forum.

Well, I'm in the UK  and it works fine for me!!!

My entire site is hosted there.  I do have the files backed up, but if I were to re-post anywhere I'd have to rebuild the site structure (haphazard though it may be).

I haven't heard from Mike in a couple of months, so I currently can't access the server myself to update my site at all.  But then I've also had a rough time during this period and haven't been very involved with Poser or the community.  Hoping to get back to it.

Ok, back from a week in the wild, outside web coverage (well, as wild/outside as you can be in this thumbnail they cal  the Netherlands), indeed just for confirmation no access to Poserplace 8:35 GMT today.

It has to be something to do with the IPv6 transistion. I can still get on the site, have been able too the whole time that others have not.

Might be worth looking at your isp's home page and see if they have any info posted on the IPv6 transistion.

Most companies said that the transistion would go smoothly, but we all know better than that.

The problem with the IPv6 theory is that it would surely affect a lot more than one site for Internet power users....

Quote - The problem with the IPv6 theory is that it would surely affect a lot more than one site for Internet power users....

It will affect everything on the affected server based on how the DNS tables update, and if it works on the servers it is pointing too. If a server gets dropped from your DNS list, you can't find it with a browser. If it has an IPv6 address, but that doesn't work, it will time out long before it even tries the IPv4 address.

Like I said earlier, I can get on the site, have been able to the whole time. My internet connection uses both IPv4 and IPv6

The nightmere has only just gotten started with IPv6.

Here are some quotes from a recent article about all the problems that are occuring even thou people have not seen much of it, yet.

"On networks that need to support anything other than a Windows Vista/7 monoculture, it's infeasible to turn off stateless autoconfig, because then some systems simply wouldn't get an IPv6 address. Worse, the information that stateless autoconfig is not in use must be multicast by routers. Just one rogue router that says otherwise can make all hosts create those unpredictable temporary addresses.... "

Another problem...

"If something goes wrong with IPv6, nine out of ten times, nobody even notices: most communication is over IPv4 anyway. And if a session is initiated over IPv6 but then fails, it's usually retried over IPv4 automatically. This may happen after a significant delay, or within a fraction of a second. If users complain, it's not unheard of that IPv6 issues get very low priority. For instance, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has a serious bug in its DNS code that makes it ignore IPv6 in the DNS when there is a CNAME record involved, a case which is not uncommon. One year and four point updates later, the bug is still there."

Problem gets worse, because what they said no one would notice, is getting noticed. Servers that use IPv6 and pipelining will see problems with the ipv6 router refusing to allow the TCP session to stay open as well.

Another quote:

"An example of the "can't get there from here" problem is the issue with hosts that think they have IPv6, but in reality it doesn't work. Even though we know how to run IPv4 and we know how to run IPv6, we find ourselves in a world where both protocols exist side-by-side, and interact in unexpected ways. Hosts that think they have IPv6 connectivity will try to connect to servers that have an IPv6 address in the DNS over IPv6. But if the IPv6 connectivity then doesn't work, nothing happens for a while until the application times out"

Which equates to "page not found" in a browser.

Many people can't get in - there are problems either at PoserPlace or in between (routers, IPv6 or a faulty DNS distribution.

Well, the problem is not at Poser Place. It's whatever is between you and it.

Afraid not. If people from various parts of the world cannot get in, it's not simply "their problem." Now, it may not be a Poser Place problem either; it could be that some very key routing in between can't get there.

Could you get the IPv4 address of Poser Place?

This is what I got at my location: Unable to resolve hostname poserplace.phantom3d.net to IP address.

Where there is a problem with url propagation, you should be able to use the DNS number to get to the site. Maybe someone could post the site's DNS number?

This worked for me as well

I used a proxy server that makes it appear that I am in UK.

Site works fine for me that way.

If you want to use such a service, there is list of free servers at :

http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-225414 

 

Installed the IPv6 protocol on my Windows XP computer, following the advice on thw Microsoft support site.  

No avail.

B.

I added 8.8.4.4 after the two DNS numbers that already were in my list. That worked for me.

I'd mess something up for sure. So I'm not even going to try it. Besides. I don't even know what a "DNS" is. And given a response at the RDNA forum where someone said "I'm not going to use Google DNS", I'm hesitant too.  Google is becoming like a virus these days, and I don't want to give it anymore access to my computer than it already has with me using it as a browser.

I followed the instructions here:

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

 

A post above here points to a post at RDNA and that post mentions this page.

The difference is that I didn't put Google's DNS server first but last instead as I felt that it might be safer that way. I'm using a Mac and those instructions were exact, don't know about Windows and Linux, sorry.

 Sorry to hear that Cage

I hope things are going better for you.

Thank you for the picture tutorial! I learn much better from simple pictures.

I followed your instructions, but I still can't get to the PoserPlace site.  I still get that the server isn't found.

I followed the picture tutorial and, just now tried,  did get in.

My OS is Windows 7 which adds IPV.6 protocol on it's own but until I added the proxy, it would not let me in...shrug.

Quote - Thank you for the picture tutorial! I learn much better from simple pictures. I followed your instructions, but I still can't get to the PoserPlace site.  I still get that the server isn't found.

Not sure why it doesn't connect, the properties panel does caution you to restart connection so new DNS takes.  You will also have to close all instances of whatever browser you are using.  It seems to hang on to the old DNS until restarted

Blue what did you add Client, Service or Protocol?..Or all of them?

I'm traveling and can't coneect to Poser Place, nor Cage's freebies using the ISP here...

I just entered the google numbers in dns in my router config and left the computer set for automatic. Worked fine.

Cox won't work at all for poserplace, neither will any of my 3 web servers, which are in 3 separate datacenters- 2 in Houston and 1 in Dallas.

Don't think it's IPV6, the ns records seem to indicate IPV4
It doesn't make sense that the google nameservers would work and the others won't (but google does work), unless google is more forgiving.
I'm thinking the phantom3d dns is screwed up somehow, I did notice some anomolies while digging for the nameserver records but didn't analyze them or anything.

Here is an image of my set-up.

I just added it to the internet Protocol for IP.V4 as it won't let me change IP version 6.

If you want to change the IPv6 addresses use

2001:4860:4860::8888

2001:4860:4860::8844

I didn't include before because I didn't think that many people would use V6

Fixed it for me!   :wub:

Thanks everyone.... I can now get in :) Hugs

Back in the UK and connecting via BT's broadband network rather than Orange France's... I can access the Poser Place forum once again...

I got there but there is no activity in the forum since April, 2012.  Am I get into the cached pages?

I think the board must have had a crash and perhaps the back up is fairly old as Mike hasn't been around much lately

No use trying all sorts of bypasses to get there then.

Too bad!

Still no access at my end. I tried that "fix" with the google thingy, but it didn't work.

Same here

I can't access Poserplace neither. Searching the internet for solutions I found a test for IPv6 connections. I tested repeatedly with the results that I theoretically am able to connect with IPv6 sites, practically I get time-out-messages every time I try.

I didn't know you could test for that.  I searched google and found a site to test. Here is what I was told. If anyone wants to test, go here:    http://ipv6-test.com/

 

When both protocols are available, your browser uses

IPv4

**

Your internet connection is not IPv6 capable

N/A

unable to contact IPv6 test server
