DNS Problems?

Ad problems? - was: DNS Problems?

I am getting

Cannot open the Internet site www.satelliteguys.us
Operation Aborted.

I don't have trouble when using satelliteguys.us

Does anyone else see this? Or, is it a problem on my end?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No issues here, anyone else?

I had the same problem and also thought it was something on my end... CC

We have made no changes to our DNS servers. I will contact LER our server guru and see if he knows something.

Try running "cmd" then "nslookup" under windows and see what you get. Below is
what mine shows, note www.satelliteguys.us and satelliteguys.us both point to the same IP address.

Note of course the apache server probably has satelliteguys.us aliased to www.satelliteguys.us

I am having similar issues. I think it has more to do with the ads than satelliteguys. I had to enter in through PDA mode to get into the forums.

I agree. This poster is on to something...

There were some ad blocking entries on my computer. After clearing out this function, the main page loads more than before, but still fails. Attached is how the main page loads for me now.

Has some script or function associated with serving ads been changed lately?

 

[jacmyoung]

Same problem, usually I can quickly log in to solve the issue, which points to the ads causing the problem, as mentioned earlier.

I was having a simular issue with Orbitcast... I figured it was the ad that pops up when the first page loads... I x'ed it out then it was fine... I tried it with Satelliteguys and was able to get it loaded without the pop up... CC

 

[azgreg]

all seems back to normal here.

 

[joedol]

Same here.

 

[guapoharry]

Just happened to me again right now...

I think it's some ad that isn't playing well with others...

 

[DirectDishNet]

I was having this problem for a while last week but cleared my cache and have not had this problem again.

 

[azgreg]

A cookie from core.videoegg.com gets blocked by IE8. I'm having the same issue connecting again. Wonder if this is the ad creating the problem.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I turned off the videoegg ad. Let me know if that helps.

Pages still loading fast here though. (Server is in Dallas, and I am in Connecticut)

 

[guapoharry]

So far, so good...

 

[joedol]

Works fine so far.

 

[azgreg]

I am no longer having the issue.

 

[searay43]

I'm having the same issue again today.

I think this might have something to do with the Google ads, just before I got knocked off the page I was trying to load I saw an ad for (fixes for all fta boxes) it was a link to a hack sight. So something isn't right if ads like that are showing up here.
