Trouble accessing TW

[Brel]

Has anybody experienced any trouble accessing tabletopwars.com recently?  Some folks have reported this site can't be found last September 10 and 11 from morning until late afternoon.

I have not been able to access it at home since then, and even until now. 

The only reason I can access it now (and I shared this technique with Vic, btw) was to place an entry in my windows hosts file with the IP address of Tabletop Wars' web server.  If the IP addy changes in the future, I will have to update or delete that entry.

I'm accessing at an internet cafe near the office.  It seems fine now and hopefully will stay up.

According to our web host, the problem could be with their Server's Firewall blocking selected IP addresses.  If anyone experiences this problem again, please send me your IP Address (eventhough it's dynamic) through e-mail: brel@tabletopwars.com or my mobile phone (+63920 9221473) so I can let them check. 

One more cause may be the DNS config.  But I am more sure it's server side so my web host should fix it.  Will post update here as I learn more.

Yes! Parang ok na

I've managed to re-point our Name Servers directly to our web host.  I think the cause of the problem was the free DNS Server (DNS-DIY) we were using.  It's having difficulties sorting out the configurations.

Some folks might still experience a few issues with the site though and have to allow a few more hours for our DNS to totally propagate.  If further problems are experienced, please feel free to contact me.  Thanks!

REMINDER:

In case trouble happens again, we have two alternative sites that can be temporarily used:

• Facebook
• YahooGroups

Please bookmark the said sites.
