Our Special Collab Slava from Lithuania is unable to access PA since yesterday. The site doesn't show up at all. The error he receives is "server unavailable". His internet works fine and no other site gives him this problem.

May this be because of the server maintenance done yesterday and today?

Yes.  Sleepwalker posted on MMA that he couldn't access PA.  He said that he sent you a PM.

Is it possible someone (their ISP, company) is blocking them for over-use of PA ?

'Service unavailable' happened to me too...I don't mean on re-indexing of the database M@X did on June the 2nd, but two days ago again. However, everything was back in order after half an hour.
Percussion, sir!

I strongly believe there is some DNS issues around the world.

On MAY there was a major upgrade the INTERNET  (DNS, Routers, ISP)
this still may affect some users worldwide.

Otherwise ,  I am really confused.

It is just really weird that MMA and PA are on the same server and one can be accessed and one can't.

I've been having the same problem since yesterday, but everything seems to be working just fine again. Confused

Lithuania 1 case, Netherlands 2 cases, Croatia 1 case - a European issue apparently.

FROM:  Viaceslavas G.

Yes, my wife from her office PC have usual access to PA. I have two PCs at home, so I just changed one to another (with same IP), same result - from my IP I can't open PA (getting same message - "server couldn't be found". It looks,it's connected with my IP address only?

wordlwide ...

Some ISP seem to have lost a link to PA.

Colin from Big Block 454 (see interview) which is sitting in Manchester, England reported the same issue to me early this morning. I thought he was joking. I now see he was not joking. Strange thing is that our IPs are in the same geographic area, but I am able to write these lines.

Windows users can try this...


How to Flush DNS in Microsoft Windows

In Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache. Open the command prompt and type the following:

C:\>ipconfig /flushdns
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.



And please report back

MAC USERS


Flush your DNS Cache in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Launch Terminal and issue the following command:
dscacheutil -flushcache
All done, your DNS has been flushed. On a side note, the dscacheutil is interesting in general and worth taking a look at, try the -statistics flag instead for some stats.

Flush your DNS Cache in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

Type the following command in the Terminal:
lookupd -flushcache

That’s it, that’s all there is to it. Now your DNS settings should be as you intended them to be.
Prog On !
