Has any one got the VATPAC site yet? I had it yesterday after modifying the "host" file but today......Back to the placeholder page.

If you have a modified hosts file you should be able to see it Richard.

 

We have been told it should work today.

Ah! Norman! He who never sleeps!

I did change the hosts file and, as I said it worked, yesterday.

I caught up on things and posted with no problems.

 

Today I boot up and it does not work. Check the host file. Still as modified.

Remove the change from the host file. Reboot. No change.

Put the change back in the hosts file. Reboot. No change.

 

Could this problem have anything to do with these viruses currently causing chaos?

Or has some one at the server site screwed up.

 

I look after a couple of web sites and have never seen propegation take this long.

Clear all your cache in your browser. too had a little issue with mine after placing in the hosts file the IP address however a full cache and cookie clean out seemed to get it going for me.

 

.org is notorious for taking a long time to propergate. Just the way things seem to be with it.

 

> vatpac.org

Server: uneeda.telstra.net

Address: 139.130.4.4

 

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: vatpac.org

Address: 67.15.35.160

 

 

This is a nslookup using one of Telstra's highest domain name servers. It is one of the main ones in Aus and Generally is uneeda has it then most other

DNS's will be able to resolve it also. As you can see it has not yet changed to the IP address that Norm has told us in the other thread. When it does... you

will not need to use the hosts file anymore.

I expected nothing more from a man of your calibre John

 

The VATPAC IT guys have been on the phone to the registrar pretty well each and every hour to get this sorted. Latest is that it is hoped within the next 24hrs full service will return.

Chris and Quigs what OS's are you running... very strange that it is not working with the hosts file entry in you system set.

Using XP Pro SP2 at home and a special version of XP Pro at work (seen as we have an agreement with Microsoft being owned by France Telecom like my work is)

 

Also using Firefix AND IE6 to get the exact same page. (in case that'll make a difference

 

Opps forgot to mention Cable connection through NTL.

And those who added entries to their host file should now remove them!

As at 1750hrs WST I still cannot see the VATPAC site. Would someone be so kind as to give me a DNS address that does resolve the VATPAC site correctly.. After four days without VATPAC I beginning to get withdrawl symptoms.. Thanks..

 

BTW, I have tried the host file idea but as I host my own DNS things got too messy..

 

Bruce.

194.74.223.62 is one of my name servers that acts as a secondary for VATPAC.
