Site Problem

· · 🌡️ 44°F

I am going crazy because there is some dns problem at telcove which is upstream from us on the net. It is making it so that I cannot reach the site through my adelphia connection but it works fine for @twisted in san francisco and fine for me on my sprint cell phone.

I wish so bad the server was in the house with my own connection. I can't even call telcove because they aren't my host.

Argh, I really need to just raise around $1200/year to host it at home. Any ideas?

    If memory serves there is a market for some sort of underwear on ebay or so I heard.

    Perhaps if every e:peep sent you some undies you could fund yr own server (and connection) with the proceeds.

    Just let me know what kind of undies you need.

    More seriously, about the dns problem, couldn't you just not use adelphia (time warner)'s dns and use @twisted 's isp's dns server? I don't think that dns servers usually require authenitication and even if they do @twisted would probably help you there.

    In case you're not confused enough, I'm able to view the site with IE but not Firefox. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    It used to be that DNS servers let you hit them regardless of whether they were authoritative or not. But sadly everything's getting locked down on the Internets now...

    Anyways: you should not be having your primary and secondary DNS servers on the same machine, that too on the machine that hosts your website. If one goes down, everything else does. Use a backup DNS server (at least).

    FWIW, I can access your site just fine from NorCal.
