Title: Feral-heart.com DNS conection problem
Post by: Thierry on November 18, 2011, 04:01:52 pm

I discovered yesterday feral-heart forum and game server was not offline, and it was a DNS¹ problem.
The problem is, I get an unknown domain address (or something like that) with http://www.feral-heart.com/ (http://www.feral-heart.com/) or http://feral-heart.com/, (http://feral-heart.com/,) but when I put the IP address http://46.4.126.110/ (http://46.4.126.110/) i can partially connect to the forum.
This problem is a little frequent, sometimes i have some days without getting connected. *bored*
I have tried flushing windows DNS cache.
I have tried with another computer.

Any ideas of how to solve this? *help*
maybe modifying manually the windows DNS cache but i don't know how to do it.

DNS¹ Domain Name System

I think raz will be able to look into this and see if there's a good way to sort it. I will try to get in contact with him.

Thanks red.
I asked to my ISP (internet service provider) about that problem, but they say the problem is with the server not with my internet connection..
what port FH uses to connect to the game?, maybe i can make a temporal solution to this problem.

Actually I'd want to find this out as well so I will ask that too when I see him. Might take a little while until I do though.

We have 3 server DNS redundancy and its very unlikely all 3 DNS servers will fail so try one of these

Google for the plain solution

OpenDNS has some nice options like blocking infected sites and such

See how you go
