Heh, your post was exactly on the hour (10:00:00 for me).

What happens when you try to view the site? Have you tried using OpenDNS?

SL65 · September 12th, 2008, 5:40 AM

It tries to connect but times out.

Whats OpenDNS?

Viper007Bond · September 12th, 2008, 5:43 AM

https://www.opendns.com/

SL65 · September 12th, 2008, 5:45 AM

I'll check it out. Thanks

Viper007Bond · September 12th, 2008, 5:47 AM

If that doesn't work, try adding this to your hosts file:

Code:

67.159.47.218   www.finalgear.com

That'll bypass the proxy we use.

SL65 · September 12th, 2008, 5:50 AM

k.

Could you tell me where my host file would be?

I remember Andy showing me how to do this a long time ago....

Bit lazy to register at OpenDNS

Viper007Bond · September 12th, 2008, 5:53 AM

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\

SL65 · September 12th, 2008, 6:02 AM

I can't find my host file. I can only find my "Imhosts" file, which is only a sample.

Hhmmm

And there are no hidden files in that folder

Viper007Bond · September 12th, 2008, 6:47 AM

Code:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
#::1             localhost

I flicked the reset switch on the router and that fixed things up.

Too easy.

Thnx

Viper007Bond · September 12th, 2008, 10:08 AM

Ah, good.

Quiky · September 12th, 2008, 10:58 PM

Or do a Start -> Run:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

vikiradTG2007 · September 13th, 2008, 11:07 AM

Did both the website and the forum suffer a few minutes of downtime just now? Or was it a problem on my end? (unlikely, since many other websites worked fine in that time)

the Interceptor · September 13th, 2008, 11:09 AM

had the same problem!

Viper007Bond · September 13th, 2008, 12:42 PM

Yeah, it did. Dunno what happened. I couldn't connect to either server (we have two).

D-Fence · September 15th, 2008, 9:10 PM

News about Fifth Gear you posted not on the main page

Quiky · September 16th, 2008, 12:41 AM

Occasional downtime expected tonight between 10PM - 3AM EST for DC router upgrades.

epp_b · September 21st, 2008, 10:11 PM

Anyone else having problems loading most of the images on FG.com, including the forum?

Topgearfanatic · September 21st, 2008, 10:19 PM

^Me!!! It's bugging me out!

Viper007Bond · September 21st, 2008, 11:38 PM

static.finalgear.com is down for some reason (it serves all of the site's images).
