ISP DNS Problems with Badcaps.net
Not sure the place to post this, but here seems good enough so I guess it will do.
I've had problems with the website failing to load for a couple of days and once last week, at first I thought it was a problem with the server but then I got some email reply notifications while the site was 'offline' which made me suspicious
Called my ISP and they confirmed they're looking at what seems to be a fault with their DNS and with any sites that use the name servers "NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM through NS4.MYDOMAIN.COM" - which includes Badcaps.net
I guess there is not much that can be done on this end, but thought I might as well post here. Currently using Google's DNS servers instead of my ISP ones.
As a side note, I tried accessing Badcaps.net by IP address directly but I just got a blank page.
Does anyone know why that is?"Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: ISP DNS Problems with Badcaps.net
On most web servers they use a name based addressing system.Originally posted by Agent24 View Post
for instance a website with a domain name like domain1.com may be on a server with a ip 111.111.111.111
If you were to go to 111.111.111.111 the server will display it's default page that could be blank have ads or display the servers info like in the attached image.
most servers are set up to server more than one domain name like domain2.com domain3.com domain4.com domain5.com but they all are on the ip 111.111.111.111
hope this helps.Attached FilesMy pc

Re: OpenDNS
Agent24 - I merged your thread with this one. Not sure why some people are having problems with DNS and others not. DNS propogation is a funny thing... Drove me up the wall when I worked for Network Solutions. Most people are not happy with an answer of "wait 24 hours"...
Perhaps your ISP is actually using OpenDNS for their servers? If that's the case, it's possible that OpenDNS has decided to blacklist mydomain.com or something.Last edited by dood; 06-28-2011, 08:13 AM.Ludicrous gibs!

Re: OpenDNS
Not having issues with that but the problem of getting logged out every 2 or 3 minutes has been persistent and continuous since the vBulletin version 'upgrade' which I think was over a year ago.
.
Happens same-same from numerous PC configurations so it's not the PC.
Tried various versions of FF & IE & Java/Javascript and it didn't make any difference.
- Does NOT happen on other vBulletin based sites/forums - only here at BCN.
.
By comments dropped here and there I think toasty has the same issue.
.
TC said he couldn't reproduce it locally and so can't do anything about it.
.
.
.
I think it has to do with how BCN's cookies and session IDs work.

Re: OpenDNS
That's a new one (well, it's old, but I never heard about it)... I stay signed in for weeks at a time, on 3 different PCs, with no troubles.
Granted, that fact doesn't help you.Last edited by dood; 06-28-2011, 08:54 AM.Ludicrous gibs!

Re: OpenDNS
You can add an entry to your systems HOSTS file for badcaps.net, then it should work so long as the site remains on this IP address...
Code:74.7.134.222 www.badcaps.net

Re: OpenDNS
A few posts up he says it happens with FF/IE on multiple PCs.Originally posted by joshnz View Post
PCB- I can't see every last thing re: your account, but I can say that I don't see any errant settings that would cause this.
The only thing similar is that the mods have to enter their password to verify before being able to do any "mod-like" things. This sounds like it's dropping the cookie altogether.Ludicrous gibs!

Re: OpenDNS
At different times I've tried IE6, IE7, and various FF versions 2.x & 3.x.
Not too much in IE though. Don't like IE.
Oh, W2k & XP,, same-same problems.
.
I agree it has to do with cookies.
I don't have the issue visiting other boards that use vBulletin, only here.

Re: OpenDNS
Toasty said once he thinks it's a JavaScript issue.
[Presumably one that affects cookies.]
I'm not much of a programmer, I have to 'cookbook' that stuff.
