why can't I see www.rmgto.com or www.ls1tech.com from my home computers. .doesn't matter witch one I use on my DSL. . I can't see the websites. they show up as not found?

any ideas?

 

[[email protected]]

try looking at them with or with out the www.

Try hitting the F5 button

restart your PC

Kick it 3 times, and tap it with your hand twice.

If it's still not working, kick it again.

I put up the Ohio Filter on RMGTO.com. You filthy traitor.

Sounds like it a name resulotion issue - try an nslookup on your system

C:\>nslookup www.rmgto.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.rmgto.com
Address: 207.44.240.32

While in nslookup, try changing your DNS server to a public one like 4.2.2.2

> server 4.2.2.2
Default Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

> www.rmgto.com
Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net timed-out
> www.ls1tech.com
Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.ls1tech.com
Addresses: 67.15.111.196, 67.15.111.194, 67.15.111.195


Now try going to the IP instead of name of ls1tech - http://67.15.111.195/forums/

 

[jfischer]

Open a command prompt
Type "nslookup rmgto.com"

You should get a response similar to this (with some server info first).

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: rmgto.com
Address: 207.44.240.32

You can do the same thing for ls1tech.com

nslookup ls1tech.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ls1tech.com
Addresses: 67.15.111.196, 67.15.111.194, 67.15.111.195

If you don't get IP addresses back from this test then your DNS server isn't working right...

 

[bengood24]

You could add them to the hosts file if it doesn't resolve correctly from DNS.
Open the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad (winnt instead of windows if you're on windows 2000)
Add a line like
207.44.240.32 www.rmgto.com

 

[Steel Chicken]

sometimes adware and trojans and such will mess with your DNS settings, so be sure to run all your anti-virus, anti-adware programs.

 

[bradz24]

ok I tried the above. nlslookup for rmgto and got what was shown above
Server: dslrouter
Address :192.168.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: rmgto.com
Address: 207.44.240.32

the only thing different from this and when I was in denver is I now hvae DSL instead of cable modem. no new software added here or my laptop. . get the error with both computers... must be the DSL router or soemthing like that.. sshrug. .I was on hold with my DSL provider last night for an hour and gave up..

Hmmm. Since you got the correct IP address back from the DNS server, that should prove that you are able to get out on the Internet. I'm assuming that the PC you're using to get to this site is the same one that won't go to rmgto.com?

If I put http://207.44.240.32 into my web browser, I get a certificate error and it tries to go to the administrative web site.. I would expect to get the RMGTO site by doing that. However, if I go to http://www.rmgto.com I don't get a certificate error and I get the RMGTO web site.

 

[bradz24]

yes using same computer that right now. . I can get to lots of sites but a selected few i can't..

heres the error I get when I try to go to www.rmgto.com or the ip thing you posted above.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

 

[jfischer]

That is very odd.

You don't have a proxy server configuration perhaps leftover from your previous provider? Try Tools, Internet Options, Connections, Lan Settings, and see if there is a checkmark next to "Proxy Server" at the lower part of the Lan Settings dialog.

 

[jfischer]

If that's not it, try looking at your IP configuration. To do this, go to Control Panel, Network Connections, and right-click on Local Area Connection.

DON'T CHANGE ANY SETTINGS FROM HERE ON OUT, JUST CHECK THEM FOR NOW.

Choose Properties from the right-click menu. Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button. Since you're apparently behind a router, I'd guess that "Obtain an IP address automatically" is ticked, and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is also ticked. If they are NOT ticked, what values are filled in?

Click Advanced, then the DNS tab.

Is there an IP address in the "DNS server addresses, in order of use" box? If so, what is it?

Is there anything in the "Append these DNS suffixes (in order) box? If so, what is it?

Is there anything under "DNS suffix for this connection? Again, if so what is it?

Again, don't change anything while you're in here, I just want to see how your IP is configured.

[GTO_Scott]

Did you try http://67.15.111.195/forums/ as I suggest way up above?

 

[GTO_Scott]

If I put http://207.44.240.32 into my web browser, I get a certificate error and it tries to go to the administrative web site.. I would expect to get the RMGTO site by doing that. However, if I go to http://www.rmgto.com I don't get a certificate error and I get the RMGTO web site.

The Apache server performs a redirect from the URL it receives from the client browser. That way they can use the same public IP for many URLs.

 

[GTO_Scott]

Brad - run this from a command prompt (DOS)

ipconfig /all

and post up the results.

Yeah, I should have thought of that. Forgot about servers hosting multiple sites

 

[jfischer]

You could also try this from a command prompt:

tracert rmgto.com

You should get a bunch of output like this:

C:\>tracert rmgto.com

Your path will be different, but if everything's working right it should end up at the same location, 207.44.240.32, as the last entry.

 

[jfischer]

The only other thing I can think of, assuming the TRACERT makes it all the way through, is perhaps you've got some anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall on your PC that's keeping you from certain sites...
