Does 216.120.251.185 work instead of www.armageddongames.net? If so, your ISP is probably having DNS problems. They'll hopefully eventually fix themselves, but in the meantime you might want to try OpenDNS.
Also, if you're having proxy troubles, you might want to try out something like Your Freedom. It's a pay proxy company which offers a very reasonable free trial.
216.120.251.185 does the same thing. Ah well. I'll check out "Your Freedom".

Well, AGN is on shared hosting, so the IP alone is not enough to connect. But that it's giving you an error instead of the Apache test page I get is proof the problem is with the host.
So... basically the problem is out of your reach? Would it be possible to send them (whoever "they" are) a message that some computers are getting blocked?
Yeah, I've let War Lord know about the problem, he'll have to have a word with out host.
What do you get if you open the DOS prompt, and enter "ping -a 216.120.251.185"?
It started working for me again pretty recently. Don't know about others though. I think there may still be a couple having the problem.
I assume you meant for me to use my own IP, right?
No; ping AGN's IP (the one in my post.) Not much point pinging yourself 😉

You'd be surprised. It helps keep the loneliness away.
Give me a break, I'm only 17. 😉
Not very promising.
On the contrary, I wanted to be sure rdns is working properly. Now type "nslookup" and then "www.armageddongames.net" at the >.
My Internet connection is running through a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G), by the way.
Hrm, so it does seem to be a routing and not DNS problem... Could someone having the problem contact me on AIM? It'll be easier to figure out in real time.
Don't worry about it, since it works again. :shrug:

Not bloody likely, since once again I have to use a proxy to get here. 😡
That was a quick fix. Oh well, back to the proxy for me..... Somebody is epic fail at networking.
That kind of makes me mad, since I just submitted ZC 2.5 b809's development history to the website... It took about 10 minutes to edit. Couldn't it have broken when I was finished with the update?
EDIT: Oh, that looks lovely. Could somebody with QDB management abilities fix the latest ZC development update? The proxy doesn't want to copy over carriage returns.

If I lose access or dont post for 2 or more days, try contacting me on PureZC or via MSN untill Warlord solves the issues with the server :P
For me the error is "The connection was interrupted before it could negotiate a connection to the server)
Yay, It works again! >_< It's like that relative you have that tells the same joke every year. And each time is more annoying than the last.
We could get like an office pool going. I'll wager 20 Pineconn dollars that franpa gets unbanned on Wednesday.
It works again for me, too.
This is just weird. o.o
Back to the proxy.
My computer might be messed up, though, since Sonic Classic's ZC source code was riddled with viruses. -_-

Yep, I've been back to the proxy since I posted that last one.. D:
Any progress with fixing this?

Well... heh....
My computer actually silently blocked me from unzipping the source code, and I eventually learned to disable my firewall. However... when I re-enabled it, it went bonkers over various new Trojans in my SYSTEM32 folder. I eventually ran a scan and found seven "potentially unwanted programs."
Looks like it's doing it again. Lovely. -_-
I wonder if theres any possibility that some the people think the site is down.
Elise told me she hasn't been able to log on AGN for a couple of days.
She gets timeout errors.
Yeah I am the new one that can't access anymore without proxy 😞
I suspect that there are numerous others that can no longer access AG but have not the means to convey the knowledge, or in some cases, don't even know its an error, and think the site is down. Hell, I'm not exactly rich, but I'd help a few people out with a subscription if it got us some better hosting.
Yup, happened to me too. I PMed DD about it like some others told me too. Proxies are sure annoying to use, hope something can be done about this.
