ishan_rulz Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I had to log in via Proxies to tell you guys. My I.P. address is: 122.169.3.47 but I think its dynamic so it keeps changing. http://ompldr.org/vN3V0Yg/Fullscreen%20capture%203182011%2025602%20AM.bmp.jpg Simplicity is hard.

ishan_rulz Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Additional info: I tried Firefox, Chrome, IE9. All failed Tried another computer using the same Wi-Fi. Failed. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm curious. If your IP is dynamic, the address should change by temporarily disconnecting your line. That didn't help any? I'm surprised. Maybe Piri locked your entire area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Are you talking about the web site or the forum site?? If there's a network routing problem then yes some sites would appear inaccessible. For more information run tracert from the DOS Prompt (cmd.exe) tracert.exe www.piriform.com or from Linux: traceroute www.piriform.com Richard S.

kroozer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Richard, I did a trace. After showing 15 hops it exits -- doesn't give me time to study the log. How do I keep the log? Edit: Work around - discovered I could capture the log by continually hitting print screen, but not easy to get the last entry because it quickly disappears.

redhawk Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 @kroozer tracert.exe is a console app you must run it from within the DOS Prompt (cmd.exe) to stop it disappearing. @ishan_rulz it seems you have DNS look up problem this is why you're unable to access Piriform. I've seen this problem occasionally on my ISP but they usually only lasts a few days or so. try: ipconfig.exe /flushdns If that doesn't work append your hosts file "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" with the following 209.62.107.107 www.piriform.com 208.67.212.61 forum.piriform.com Save and restart your web browser for the changes to take effect. Note that this a temporary fix if Piriform change their IP addresses the host data would become invalid. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 17, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2011 Richard, I did a trace. After showing 15 hops it exits -- doesn't give me time to study the log. How do I keep the log? 1. If you want a log click Start, Run, input: tracert.exe www.piriform.com > "c:\tracert_log.txt" 2. After awhile you can close the Command Prompt window, then start Notepad and open: c:\tracert_log.txt If you don't want a log just ignore the above, and do as Richard stated in a Command Prompt window. I got over 30 hops, and it stating: Request timed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks Richard and Andavari. I realised my error when I tried accessing it again a few minutes ago. My goof. I was accessing Command Prompt thru Search\tracert.exe www.piriform.com and Run. (Can I blame it on my tiring day?) Edit: Strange. The first Time I went thru Run it stayed. Now it disappears even when using Andavari's tactic. I'll have to work on this and figure out why it's finicky. Later: Yeah, if I go thru Accessories\Command Prompt it will stick. Run shows almost the same prompt, but I notice the top two lines are missing. I'm getting an education tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Kroozr, if you have tried Andavari's method, you will get a log file in "C:\" called tracert_log.txt Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even downloaded the "Repair_Network" tool from Shane's website and still a no go. Editing the HOSTS files seemed to have done the work for me, it saddens me that it is temporary.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 18, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 18, 2011 Unfortunately, it isn't the result of admin "spam blocking". That would have been an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
