Default No Access

I can't access either the site or the forum unless I use my school's VPN. All other sites work normally and I've tried dumping my DNS info...

Any help?

What does www.finalgear.com resolve to?

It should resolve to 66.228.124.130.

viper... alot of people had alot of problems even after the DNS was flushed... I had to get SL65 to manually do it as well

shawn, you could manually do it, just go to windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

and at the bottom add this:

66.228.124.130 forum.finalgear.com
66.228.124.130 www.finalgear.com

I guess I'll go back to the old method...

I had been going domain -> 3rd party DNS -> this box, but now I'm doing domain -> cuban's DNS server -> which headed towards the box.

This allowed me to not have to change the IP manually if he had to move us, change the box's IP, etc.
