Can't access FinalGear forums from home

[Mishal]

After the forums were down for a while 2 weeks ago I think and came back up again, I could access it from my home PC only once. And then.... :?

Now I can't come to the forums as freuqently as I used to since I can only check it out at my university.

I presume its got something to do with DNS. Help!

Open your hostsfile...

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open it with notepad and add:

70.84.221.34 forum.finalgear.com

save and reboot your browser

Do you get a message saying you're looking at the old forums when you visit from home? If so, do what jensked said. If not... well, jensked's solution would probably work as well.

Okay, I have tried that and it didn't work

Any other suggestions? If not, I guess I have to talk to my ISP.

Try resetting your router. It worked for me once when I had a similar problem.
