Since I'm not seeing any posts on the topic, I'm pretty sure this is just me. But I just thought I'd check...
Is anyone else unable to access www.armageddon.org ?
I can get into the game just fine, and (obviously) the GDB as well. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

I think there is a DNS error, because I cannot access the game...

So... Uh... What's the IP address again?  I want to log on.

Oh, I just tried to access the game again, and couldn't.
I managed to get in just fine about half an hour ago, so that's a recent development. My problem with the main site has been going on for longer.

Hmm.

I get this error:

Code Select

Could not establish connection.
Reason: name lookup has failed


I still want to try the IP... What is it?

Also, www.zalanthas.org is hosted by Dreamhost, so it doesn't suffer from the same server issues...

I can connect to both site and main page just fine.

Hmm... I tried the IP (51.79.252.54) and got this error:

Could not establish connection.

yeah dude.  So like what's the ip?  type ping armageddon.org and let me know what you get.
May 21, 2008, 04:56:30 PM #7
The IP address for ginka.armageddon.org is 64.252.79.51. It works for me, at least.
May 21, 2008, 05:01:15 PM #8
Uhm... I couldn't get the IP because the DNS wasn't working.  Someone else told me the IP was 64.252.79.51, but that doesn't work either...

I get no return on PING and TRACEROUTE failed miserably.

Anyone know a proxy server I can try?

www.armageddon.org (64.252.79.51) responds to my pings just fine.

It could be a router between you and them is down somewhere I suppose.
Sorry I can't be much more help than that.

Weird. ginka.armageddon.org worked just fine, but armageddon.org doesn't work.
Also, none of the links from the main page work. I tried clicking on 'Original Submissions', and got this: http://ww23.rr.com/index.php?origURL=http://www.armageddon.org/original/index.php

You could try OpenDNS, at least I do and it works fine.

64.252.79.51 works fine for me, muchos gracias for the help dude.

Prolly just a DHCP lease from the ISP expired, A new DHCP was leased, and DNS replication is taking longer than usual.  That's my best guess.  Muchos gracias.

I'm at work and I can't access the main site either.  I leave in ten minutes and I'm really hoping I can log in to ARM as I haven't had a chance to play in two days...

Yay.

If you want to access the site, putting 64.252.79.51 into your address bar should work fine. I doubt you'll be able to use the request tool very easily though, and for any link you click on you'll have to replace http://www.armageddon.org with 64.252.79.51.

So, 64.252.79.51/general will take you to the general information page, etc etc.
May 21, 2008, 07:11:32 PM #21
I just don't understand why Ourla can log in and I cannot.  So strange.

Okay.  Definitely a client issue at this point.  Bummer.

I can telnet over from my terminal fine.   :-\

Flush your dns cache, dude.  If that don't work, re-install your operating system.

I don't know what the issue is... The Kmuddy just won't connect properly via IP.  It's possessed.


These are the bastards responsible though, ultimately:

Code Select

Nameserver trace for www.armageddon.org:

    * Looking for who is responsible for root zone and followed l.root-servers.net.
    * Looking for who is responsible for org and followed tld1.ultradns.net.
    * Looking for who is responsible for armageddon.org and followed ns2.connix.net.

Nameservers for www.armageddon.org:

    * ns2.connix.net returned (NORECORDS)
    * ns1.thebiz.net returned (NORECORDS)
    * ns0.connix.net returned (NORECORDS)


I say we pie them.  With ICBMs.


edit:

So... I switched the address to the IP in Kmuddy, and then CLOSED the program.

After reopening it, I was able to connect via IP.

Strange.  Jubilation!

Aw shit, I can't connect to Arm.  Someone's going to have to explain to the kid over here who has no confidence at all with computer issues what's going on.   :-\  As in, uh, PF, what exactly did you do?

EDIT: Never mind, just connected via the IP and everything was fine.  Isn't it great what reading the whole thread can do for you?  Leaving the rest of the post intact so I can be properly shamed.

What client are you using?

I just replaced the DNS address ginka.armageddon.org with the IP address 64.252.79.51 in my client and then saved the settings, closed the program, reopened the program and connected via the IP address...

The port will remain 4050.

If you're still having trouble, you might want to make a whole new connection in addition to your main one, with 64.252.79.51:4050 instead of ginka.armageddon.org:4050. Then, if this kind of trouble happens in the future, you may be able to use the backup one.
May 21, 2008, 08:47:02 PM #27
Sorry, I'm completely computer illiterate, and you all lost me a long time back.
I can log into the game just fine, but I can't access the main site. Does anybody else have this same problem? Does anybody know how I can fix it?

Interestingly enough, I had to enter the IP to connect this time too.  But kmuddy didn't give me the same problem at all.

All well now though.

Like I mentioned before, you can put 64.252.79.51 into your address bar of your browser and it should work. You will need to tack on any subdirectories to that.

64.252.79.51 will take you to the main page.
64.252.79.51/general/guilds.html will take you to the list of guilds.
And so on and so forth. You may need to roll over links to see what you need to add on. This works for me in Firefox and Internet Explorer, and should work anywhere else.

Yup, stupid DNS follies again. Use the IP for now, like everyone's saying, and I'll take care of the DNS thing in the morning, when the hosting company is open again.

It'll probably be in its current, semi-borked state for another 24 hours or so, then should be fine. Could be less hours, I don't know. I think I'll change hosting providers for DNS now. I meant to do it last time this happened, but I forgot. Anyway, things should be back to normal soon.
