Whoa! I'm on! DU has been down for over 24 hours! I'm using TOR to get through.

[Kablooie]

Anyone know what's going on?

DU is dead for me. I can get some pages by typing the internet address but not with the site name.

DU is blocked in many places I hear.

TOR sends me through a proxy so I can get through from a random server, not my normal one.

Frustrating!

1. Try this...

http://www.plus.net/support/software/dns/changing_dns_vista.shtml

When you are prompted for the numbers in the boxes below use these numbers...

4.2.2.2. and 8.8.8.8.

This is the only thing that's worked for me. I was able to finally log in.

2. I was just able to get a moment ago.

Use Safari but have no idea why I could not get on to DU all day. :(

[gateley]

7. I use Safari, too and I haven't had a problem at all, so haven't been paying close

attention.

What do they think the problem is?


EDIT - never mind - just read Skinner's explanation. Wonder who lodged the complaint?

[Kablooie]

5. plus.net says website is temporarily unavailble. I'll try again later.

[NOLALady]

3. Or this

: DNS server isn't responding :(

4. The only thing I can log on with is my work laptop. Wierd.

I thought it was just me.

12. Thanks. That clarified things a lot.

[City of Mills]

8. I guess we're going to see hundreds of thread on this, aren't we

Oh well,kick.

Wish Skinner would pin his info threads on this.

[NV Whino]

9. I couldn't get in yesterday, but I can today

I use Safari 5.0.3

[FarLeftRage]

10. I've been using "hide my ass" proxy...

Works much better with "page wash"... Can't get in via the 'net without using a web proxy... hope that changes soon.

[RagAss]

11. I'm using chicken wire and an old transistor radio.

[Raffi Ella]

13. Same here! I haven't been able to log on since yesterday.

I searched Twitter and found a proxy to go through and just now FINALLY got on.

15. TOR? Are you crazy?

Well, it's only bad if you transfer personal information. Chances are the end-port user doesn't care about your DU login.

[Historic NY]

16. I'm back to proxy again its too sporatic....

of course with the proxy you can spell check or recommend among other things.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. I used this proxy server successfully all last night.

A member posted it in the DU Panic Room on Yahoo, the place to meet up for info if DU is down... :hi:
