DNS


Recommended Posts

Alright, I have been having problems with domains I have registered. After I register them I update the DNS to the name servers that are on the host that will be hosting me. I go to the pages and all I can see are the 404's but everyone else who goes to the URL can see the pages I have uploaded and stuff. I'm using Windows XP and I don't think my computer is recognizing the the DNS servers. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have any ideas? Please help if you can. I would appreciate it.

If I understand your post correctly. You registered a domain, pointed it to name servers on web host? But you can not resolve the domains? A 404 would be the server telling you it can not find the page you are looking for - not that you can not resolve the name.

Do a nslookup or dig against the name server your domain is pointing at - can it resolve your domain?? Does the whois for your domain, state that it is pointing to the new name servers?

in dig it would be like this

dig @nameserver host.domainname.com

in nslookup it would be like this

nslookup

>server nameserver

>host.domainname.com

Yes if you move a domain to new name servers, and or change the ip address of a host in a domain, etc.. There may be some time before everyone can resolve it. This would be due to the TTL you had set, and the DNS server a specific user is using, still caching the old address, etc..

with some more info, ie the domainname in question - where it was, and where you moved it too - might be able to give you some more info

Yeah, I've waited at least 24 hours.

But BudMan the thing is, everyone else can see the page besides me...That's what I don't really understand. And for your question about the nameservers in the Whois, I go to www.dnsstuff.com and look up iruleworld.com and replies back with the name servers. It seemed to look right. Anways, thanks for the help and I guess I will just wait a bit longer.
