Any idea what the heck is causing it? She hasn't been able to access the site for over a day.

His IP addresses are much different than Rye's(they use two different isps). Plus he hasn't been IP banned (to my knowledge) Probably just your run of the mill divergence of the intarweb tubes.

Rye says it works when she uses a proxy, so it sounds like an IP thing.

If it is, it's a DNS server thing as far as I can tell.

IP ban will tell you when you try to load the site, plus they only apply to the forums anyway, it's something else if the site's not loading at all :p Check DNS is working properly for that computer :p

Could someone tell me what DNS is and how to check/fix it, so I can pass it on to her? Thanks

Addendum: It's not working on any other computers she has, but the entire rest of the intertubes that she's encountered works great, and she can as she said see EoFF through a proxy.

I decided to log on with proxy. I changed my DNS with that website, and while everything else is faster, EoFF STILL does not work.

It really can't be on my end, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. Everything works perfectly, it doesn't work on my PC or my laptop, and I can access EoFF perfectly on proxy. It's only EoFF that doesn't work, and I can't even ACCESS it. It comes up with that "Connection has timed out" will not load page.

Can you post the output of the following command (executed from a computer that isn't working at the time):

Start > Run > 'cmd /k tracert www.eyesonff.com'

P.S. You can copy text from the cmd window by selecting "Mark" from the right-click context menu, dragging to highlight the text and pressing enter. :p

I'm pretty certain I'd break my laptop if I tried something like that. xD I'm a computer retard.
