dan11 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 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.

+BudMan MVC Posted July 28, 2003 MVC Share Posted July 28, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11 Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
