Title: LBT Server DNS Down
Post by: landbeforetimelover on January 28, 2010, 03:12:28 AM
Well, I don't know exactly what's wrong, but my server DNS is down.  I'll have to wait and see if it gets fixed automatically.  It's not on my end, because accessing the server through my IP address is fine.  But www.lbtserver.2myip.net doesn't work for some reason.  For now, use the following link to access the server:

http://24.118.144.163:8781 (http://24.118.144.163:8781)

I've changed my IP address and port and it hasn't solved the problem.  It's on www.2mydns.com's end, not mine.  I just changed the forwarding URL to my IP address for TheLandBeforeTime.org.  It should be up and running shortly.

Oddly enough, someone was downloading a TV episode from my server today when the DNS was down.  They must've bookmarked the website by IP.  Damn.  That's not good. :bang I wish there was some sort of workaround for that.  Unfortunately, the only thing I could do to fix this is pay for hosting.  But even if I was willing to fork over the $75 a year, I doubt they'd keep it up due to legal issues. :( There's just no simple answers to my never-ending problems.

Well this doesn't seem to be resolving itself very well.  There's no mention on the home page that there's any problems.  I've sent an inquiry to www.2mydns.com.  Hopefully I'll be able to get this worked out in a few days.  My IP is dynamic, so keeping the IP and port as the URL is out of the question.  Besides...who wants to remember a frickin' IP address and port number?
