NCT will be going down this afternoon

Doc · Nov 12, 2009

I'll be taking NCT down to move to a new server.
If you are editing a long post be sure to save it before clicking the submit button so you don't loose it. With luck the outage will last about an hour.

Thanks Doc!

Thanks doc

We are back. I had trouble getting my workstation to resolve correctly.
from a dos prompt running:
ipconfig /flushdns
will clear things up if nslookup netcooking talk IP ends in .196
if it ends in .186 that is the OLD NCT server.

For those wondering ....
FF db restore took 1 1/2 hour and failed (cause my connection was lost). I have kicked off the process again and it is close to one hour in. As long as my connection stays good we should be back up over there in 45 minutes.
do a: ipconfig /flushdns
to help find the new site quicker.

I hear that some are having DNS resolving issues again. Hopefully all will be able to resolve our new DNS address soon. This will be the LAST DNS change for a long long long time.

Doc · Nov 13, 2009

I just got word from FM. She is having trouble getting to NCT. I suspect a lot of folks are. My bad. I thought wrongly that changing DNS in two phases would make the change from yesterday nearly seamless. Boy was I wrong. :hide:

I apologize to all for the extra frustration.

homecook · Nov 13, 2009

I just heard from bucky........he can't get in either.

Doc · Nov 13, 2009

I left him instructions on NCT's facebook page. They might help but only if his DNS server has the right address for NCT. Frustrating for sure.
Again I'll say, not more DNS changes. We be set now. Sorry for all the aggrivation. :hide:

Ronjohn · Nov 13, 2009

Worked perfectly for me. I must live right. :tongue:

*ducks as things get thrown

buckytom · Nov 13, 2009

i'm here. i did an nlookup and saw it was still .186, so i flushed my dns.

it worked once or twice, then kept going back to .186.

so i cleared my cookies, browsing history, and flushed again.

looks good. thanks doc.

Fisher's Mom · Nov 13, 2009

Whew! I finally made it! I flushed my dns, but it didn't work. Finally, I guess it flushed itself and all is well.

Ronjohn · Nov 13, 2009

All this talk of flushing....

Shermie · Nov 14, 2009

Thanks for the heads-up, Doc. So is the new server in place yet, or are you still working on it?
