problems reaching linux-noob - inittux - 2011-09-04
I've been having problems reaching linux-noob. It's really random. Sometimes I can just enter the website link: www.linux-noob.com or linux-noob.com and I got the website.
Other times is says the page can't be found, I then google linux-noob and I get the website and sometimes when I google it I also get: page cannot be found. I tried clearing
my cache, but I have this problem with chrome, firefox and IE and I have it when I'm in windows and when I'm running on linux and I have it when I'm at work. All other
websites seem to be loading fine. So since I have the problem at work and at home it can't be on my side. So probably on the server side? I hope you can take a look at
this? If you need anymore info just let me know :) I'll try and see what happens when I only use a proxy to access the website and see if it makes a difference.

can you reach other sites at the same time ? i havn't noticed any connection problems to the site, thankfully
so are you getting errors with google also ? could you be having connection issues ?

I am able to reach other websites at the same time, but I'll I'll try it more specifically next time it happens.
But just strange that it happens from both with my home internet connection and at work too.

I've tried and visited the website today at work quite a few times and no problems. Will try again at home this evening. If still have the problem at home it must be that something on my providers side that's causing it.

When it occurs, can you perform a nameserver lookup and see what gets returned?

Sure I'll do that, with this?

no, just use the "host" or "nslookup" commands - curious to know what your machine resolves the domain name to (rather than what another website resolves it to)

At work it seems to be working fine now just at home I get this problem now.
under windows I get this:
C:\Users\Maarten>nslookup www.linux-noob.com
Server: dsldevice.lan
Address: 192.168.2.254
*** dsldevice.lan kan www.linux-noob.com niet vinden: Server failed
C:\Users\Maarten>nslookup http://linux-noob.com
Server: dsldevice.lan
Address: 192.168.2.254
*** dsldevice.lan kan http://linux-noob.com niet vinden: Non-existent domain
2nd Time under windows:
C:\Users\Maarten>nslookup www.linux-noob.com
Server: dsldevice.lan
Address: 192.168.2.254
Niet-bindend antwoord:
Naam: www.linux-noob.com
Address: 94.75.228.161
C:\Users\Maarten>nslookup http://linux-noob.com
Server: dsldevice.lan
Address: 192.168.2.254
*** dsldevice.lan kan http://linux-noob.com niet vinden: Non-existent domain
seems like the problems is with my dsldevice because 192.168.2.254 is my way to connect to my modem.
I have it setup like this. I have my ISP modem(192.168.2.254) downstairs, I pulled a network cable to my upstairs room and I connected it to my linksys router(192.168.1.1), and my router connects to my pc and laptop. Didn't have time to try it on linux last night will try to do it this evening. But will probably get about the same results since it seems like it's my dsldevice causing problems.

It could also be the (local) DNS cache - some platforms cache queries for longer, masking the smaller pool (or delayed lookup) that other devices have.
If you want to bypass those problems - particularly for this forum - then consider hard-coding our IP address into your local HOSTS file. This should speed up resolution for this site, but it also means that you've got the added burden of updating the (local) IP if the server moves.

That would mean under linux under /etc/hosts right and under windows I'll be able to find it.
It's a matter how you look at it, don't find it much of a burden. Not being able to access
www.linux-noob.com is a burden :P
