[Youpidou1]

Ok something is wrong for Future Raptor Ace. He can't load the site but I load the sight just fine. Anyone know what the problem is?

Maybe connection problems?

[Future Raptor Ace]

yeah guys I need help. Right now I'm on the UBwireless network but its slow in the dorms where I am at now so I generally use an ethernet cable since its a 1000 times faster. For some reason when im connected by wire this site does not load for me. I cant view the forums or anything. Every other site runs fine and loads fast. Can someone please help me?

[Future Raptor Ace]

It might be your firewall. Or your internet is just funky atm.

[Future Raptor Ace]

Idk I havent messed with my firewall, it just started happening out of no where

[Tchaikovsky]

Is this site running slow for you right now?

[Future Raptor Ace]

^yeah because I'm on wireless, my schools wireless is extremely slow here in the dorms, so I use an Ethernet cable. Ive been going on this site since august 25th with this cable and nothing has happened. All of a sudden a few days ago, this site and this site only does not load. It only works off the slow wireless

[TheBarrett]

I would help.
But I can't.
Sowwy mate.

[Future Raptor Ace]

^its ok, thanks for caring

[Idéaliser]

Maybe somebody blocked it :o

If you are using Windows, go here C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. In here you will find a file called 'host'. Open it in notepad, this is a list of ip addresses which will reroute to your computer. If you see a line with alizeeamerica.com along with an ip address then just insert a # before the line.
For eg.

192.168.1.1 alizeeamerica.com
should be changed to
#192.168.1.1 alizeeamerica.com
There are some viruses which copies your recently visited sites or frequently visited sites and puts them here,then you can't access that site,it just to piss you off.
Hope that helped!!

[RadioactiveMan]

If his hosts file pointed to the wrong IP address he wouldn't be able to get on using wireless internet either.

[Tiwaz]

I have trouble connecting to this site sometimes (rest of the internez works fine), but i just wait a while and it usually works.

[Tomtentp]

Try lower the security for that particular network. Or change the security level of you internet browser, in Internet explorer you double click the icon in the right bottom corner that says internet/local network, or whatever network your currently connected to. Then you just lower the security for that connection area.

What browser and operating system are you using?

[Future Raptor Ace]

internet explorer 7.

I went to where you told me to go, Alizee America is not listed

[Tomtentp]

Well, did you try it?
Go tools>internet-options>security
Mark 'Internet'.
Click 'custom level'.
Edit it to 'low' and accept out.

The names of the settings might be diffrent, im using a Swedish version and dunno how it is presented in the English one.

Edit: When I think about it, the same problem would occur for you wireless. What OS are you using? Vista/Xp?
If you could get on the chat or even ventrilo that would make things easier.

[Thor Azrail]

Ok first sorry if this ias a long list of questions but I need it to help determine your problem:

On the wired network:
1. Can you access the site via the IP? (at time of posting 99.198.97.213)
2. Can you use a proxy to get to the site?
3. Can you use TOR (the Onion Router) to get to the site?
4. Can you open other web sites?
5. Can you open a website that streams video? (i.e. youtube, Google video)

About your computer:
1. What OS do you use?
2. What Firewall do you use?
3. What AV/Anti-Spyware Program do you use?

About your schools network:
1. What is there service provider?
2. Are the wireless and wired networks separate or linked
3. Is the net work filtered?

[edgar93]

That happened to me like 2 weeks ago. The next day everything was normal. Try using another computer, maybe the problem is you computer:o.

[Youpidou1]

I helped! I made the thread!

disregard the host file tip for the moment. that is a last resort. it is hard to tell what the problem is, but a lot of times it is poor DNS. Especially at places like a University (where they probably maintain their own DNS) or with a crappy ISP.

Try using different DNS servers. In fact, everyone should consider switching to OpenDNS (http://opendns.org). You will notice your internet connection being more 'zippy' because web addresses will resolve much faster. opendns servers are refreshed more often than an ISP and they have many more servers so it is more likely you can use one close to you. they also offer good protection from black listed websites if you choose that to take advantage of it.

Anyway, to make a long story short, use the DNS servers below:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Also, check out opendns.org for more information. it is a really great free resource, i highly recommend it for everyone.

edit:

i also want to point out, if you use a router, you will want to update the DNS servers on your router instead of your computer. if you don't use a router, you can just update them locally on your computer.

if it is locally on your computer it is similar to the path below, i am on a mac right now so i cant look at the exact steps but it is very similar to below:

(network connections --> local area connection (or wireless connection) --> tcp-ip --> manual DNS)

[OGRE]

Well, I don't have any recommendations, but I really do want to help. Just want you to know "I CARE".

Idk whats going on lol
Thanks though

I did that and it made my whole Internet not work............?

[Future Raptor Ace]

To everyone, I think the reason for this whole problem is due to errors with Internet explorer 7, so I updated to Internet explorer 8 beta. Let me tell you that it is great and anyone with IE should download this. It is a lot faster too

I am having problems loading this site again and I still don't know why. It keeps saying trouble with the DNS. Until this problem clears up and I get this site working for me again I may be inactive for a bit.

[Future Raptor Ace]

wow I loaded the site and it worked today.

[Plaz]

i've had this problem multiple times aswell... yesterday i couldn't view here and today i can... while others have been able to the whole time...

[lefty12357]

I've had some occasional trouble viewing this site too for some time now. It usually happens 2 or 3 times a week. I thought it was just me, but I don't have the problem with other sites.

[rcs]

Gotta pay them bills. Donate, right Brad? :D

[Rocket]

It rarely comes up for me. I have to go into history, click on my views from the day before, click on alizeeamerica.com and start clicking on every page until I find one that works. This is the only site that does this.

[Dark Engine]

Have you tried any other browsers? I switched to firefox awhile ago and I've never had any problems. Also, try clearing out your cache, cookies, history and all that other mess. I would also try running disk cleanup and have it get rid of everything you don't need. Make sure it whipes your temp folders, I've seen that folder having adverse effects if it get's to large. I doubt a defrag would help, but it wouldn't hurt to run it if it's been awhile.

[JCC]

Another thing you guyz should do is to flush the DNS cache. What the DNS does it store your most viewed URLs and the IP address for those websites on a local server....for many people....its the local server for your internet provider. (Verizon DSL, COMCAST, etc) That server is responsible for controlling & establishing your connection to the internet. Over time the IP address become corrupt or unreachable.

Hit the start menu, then RUN....type in CMD.....at the DOS prompt, type IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS.

This removes old IP address and allows new stuff to be stored. Hope this helps.

I suggest keeping everything that you need, not deleting it. :D

Good suggestion. If the usual newbie browser cleaning and corruption checking doesn't work this often helps.

[Rev]

FYI - Just lost the connection to this site (no others) for about 10 minutes. Pages simply would not load (note: my PC is not the issue).

After 10 minutes it was fine again.

Bleh, you know what I mean. Post edited accordingly.

I haven't used ipconfig in forever. Then again, most issues with my connection I can fix with regedit or my router so I usually access that and fix everything.
DOS, the good ol' days of computers... I resented the mouse/icon interface for awhile when 3.1 became mainstream.

[dreamer]

I've had problems loading the site for some time now. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I'm using Firefox, I don't have problems with any other site.

[brad]

when you have problems, are you getting a page not found error or is nothing showing up at all?

[brad]

also, next time it happens see if you can ping the ip ...

ping 99.198.97.213

sounds like a DNS thing to me, but not sure why several people would have the problem.

[Rev]

I was getting a ____ not found error (I just remember the "not found" part clearly - sorry I can't be more specific but it's been a couple of days - I don't want to mislead you). I almost grabbed a message screen shot but didn't. Next time (if there is a next time) I'll note the exact error message (rather than trusting it to memory).

[dreamer]

I'm getting a "not found"-error as well.:(:confused:

[Tchaikovsky]

Everything works fine for me.

[patyl]

Hi everybody:

I am having problems to see the site, randomly.

Has anybody found out the reason why?

Hope somebody can help us.

Thanks in advance.

Patricia Lopez

[Future Raptor Ace]

Yea I too had problems loading the site all week, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.
It says "oops link not found"

[RadioactiveMan]

I wasn't able to connect for a while today.

It wasn't a DNS problem, though.

http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq217/RadioManS3/pingstats.jpg

I flushed DNS entries and still resolved the name.

However, there was apparently a packet troll eating my Internets along the way.
