All righty, the server's in its new home. It's on a static ip now, and the ISP I'm on promises they won't filter *anything*, so I hope they stick to their word on that one. I can set up my DNS and Email and stuff properly, without having to worry about hitting blocks put in place by ISPs.

The only trick is that this connection is PPPoE, so I'm hoping it's reliable enough to use as a server. My old cable connection was perfect, but I worry that this one might die on occasion. But, I guess we'll see

Let me know if you have any problems or issues or whatever!

Last time I used PPPoE (~2 years ago) I didn't have any problems with the connection dropping while hosting a website and when it did the connection was reestablished in seconds. You probably don't have anything to worry about, especially since the IP is static now.

Yeah, I don't expect issues either. This server was on PPPoE (at my parents') for the past month or so, and the only issue I had was when the IP changed.

Is everything working ok? It's been usually quiet since yesterday (although it's still morning)..

Chavo · « **Reply #4 on:** May 24, 2009, 12:43:31 pm »

Normal for me

dark_drake · « **Reply #5 on:** May 24, 2009, 03:20:54 pm »

It's been working fine for me. But I don't post that often. :S

So... where'd everyone go, again?

Ergot · « **Reply #7 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:56:35 pm »

I can't seem to access the forum or post.

Hmm, really?

Does it happen from just a single computer, or every computer on a network?

Can you get me a packet capture (from, say, Wireshark) from the affected computer?

When I first hooked up my laptop, I had trouble accessing some sites, but now it seems to be working fine -- I'm worried the same thing might happen to people trying to access the forum.

Thanks!

It never has -- godaddy's dns control has never let me det the base domain right.

I use godaddy, and it works fine for me. You've created an A record for @?

I don't use A records, I use CNAME because till recently I didn't have a static IP

warz · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2009, 10:39:52 pm »

yea, you should probably set that up correctly.

Chavo · « **Reply #17 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:29:54 pm »

You still need at least 1 A record for the CNAMEs to point to unless you are pointing everything to some other domain like a dyndns setup (eww)

Nate · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2009, 08:00:10 am »

I can also now see the forum section "Clan Members Only" its between "Announcements" and "General Forums" its actual forums are hidden, but maybe someone should stop messing with the board controls. Its recent within the last 24hrs, unless I've been completely oblivious to it.

I am pointing it to a dyndns -- what's eww about that? It's an awesome way to handle a non-static ip, because I can update all ~8 of my domains by updating a single one.

That normally means that somebody moved a non-hidden forum under a hidden one. We have a section in the members' only section for old boards, so likely somebody moved an inactive board to there and forgot to hide it.

I'd hardly call that "messing with board controls", though -- and what's the big deal that somebody should stop?

It's eww because it generates issues exactly like the one you have!

IN A 208.81.2.52 www IN CNAME x86labs.org. forum IN CNAME x86labs.org.

edit: if godaddy's dns manager is giving you issues, change your NS entries and use zoneedit.com or a simlar free DNS server

iago · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:56:56 am »

Well, that's just godaddy sucking

I have a static ip now so I can do this properly... I just need to get on it

Camel · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2009, 04:16:25 pm »

I've used zoneedit in the past, but now that GoDaddy's DNS controls don't suck so much any more, I've stopped.

I seem to remember reading something about it being illegal (in the strictest interpretation of the spec) to use a CNAME for @, or something.

Heh, on the plus side, at least I didn't delete anything! Or is that really a plus?

(I hid some member forums that hadn't been posted in this year.)
