Oddguy OWF server problem
 
I'm talking with Oddguy on MSN right now, and apparently he can't get on any site of the OWF server (thus OWW, OWU and OWF)

he wanted me to inform you you can reach him at:
ih8tzarzmas@hotmail.com

hopefully his problem will be fixed soon

Just his luck, but i wounder why is this happending. I have no clue whats so ever.

Hey, i used to have that same problem before joining the forum, but then it let in.

That's not good at all. I'll see if I can catch him tonight on MSN, but he is in America, and rarely comes online. Xavier, could you get the specifics of the problem? If you could, I'd be able to narrow it down if he could answer the following points:

Can he still log in successfully to the server via FTP?
What error messages does he get when he goes to the forums / and FTP (if he can't log in to the FTP interface)?

At any rate, it is usually a DNS issue. Therefore, get him to follow the following actions (he must be using a Windows OS):

1) Start
2) Run
3) In the 'run program' text box, type this exactly: 'ipconfig /flushdns'
4) Press enter

Alcar...

I'll ask him via MSN if I see him
but you can mail him

Surely the last two posts could have been dome by PM and are thus SPAM and Alcar and Xav should give themselves warnings... :flames: :rant:

I'm back! :D

I had to reset both my modem and router to fix the problem. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but I'm just glad to be back. Two whole days without OWF was torture. ;)
