OUTAGES EXPECTED VERY SOON
Posted: August 18th, 2007, 1:02 am
We are moving our webserver ... once again ... so I am expecting the TsuGaming Network sites to be down. Basically any site (clan, subsite, server, etc) that we host will be down for as long as your DNS takes to update.
DNS is the system that converts http://www.someURL.com to an IP address. Some people's DNS is a little faster than others. For this reason, when the URL changes to a new IP address (like what we're going to do) some people might be able to see the new site in 1 hour. Some might take 24 hours.
To speed it up, you can try opening a DOS window and typing:
ipconfig /flushdns
This will flush your DNS cache and try to force a DNS pull from your local nameserver. If it works, you might get lucky and save yourself a few hours of waiting for your DNS to update. Thereby making the site visible to you a lot sooner.
If anyone needs help or has problems, feel free to contact me on MSN: fl00d3d@gmail.com
We expect this outage to take place sometime on Saturday the 18th. Don't know what time, so don't ask.
