Passant the Weak Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Hello, I've been having an invalid link for a few days with Free Credits. I am using Firefox and running behind a company Firewall (I mention this, because that Firewall sometimes messes things up, but it does not seem tobe the case here). All Free Credit links work fine but this one: http://browsermmorpg.net/?vote=magicduel The errorreport is coming through my firewall (won't post it here: it's in French), basically stating that there was an error while contacting the DNS server. The alleged cause mentioned by the firewall is "DNS temporarily unavailable or network problem". Cheers.
Shadowseeker Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 That is odd, because I can connect just fine. Did you flush your cache and retry?

Did you flush your cache and retry? [/quote] Yes, that's why I waited a few days to report. It must be the Firewall that does not like it... or a problem with the DNS from my location. I will re-try tomorrow from my home connection and see if that's different.
BFH Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 I'll contact topsite owner. I'll let you know what they reply to me
Passant the Weak Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Posted March 26, 2011 I tested from my home connection (no firewall) and got the same issue. Looks like a DNS issue when access is from France.
Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted March 26, 2011 Root Admin Report Posted March 26, 2011 i checked it also and it works fine, its probably dns issue indeed. Do other sites cause the same? Might be that the hosting provider blocks that specific hosting.
BFH Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 try changing your dns http://www.opendns.com/ I use it It's safe, and protects your identity
Passant the Weak Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Posted March 26, 2011 @Mur It's the only link of Free Credits that causes an issue. I think the location is a problem because I tested with 2 different providers (home and professional) for the same (bad) result. @BFH I will try tomorrow with that opendns thingy However if I'm the only one who has problem, I think I can live with it! Thanks for the support.
BFH Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 [quote name='Passant the Weak' timestamp='1301176989' post='81377'] @BFH I will try tomorrow with that opendns thingy [/quote] Please let me know if changing dns works BTW: If you need me to explain you how to change it, let me know
Passant the Weak Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 I finally did not use the changeDNS site. I prefer not to mess with my DNS, the computer being shared and other important stuff on it. Error is still here, but as I said not big deal. If you have reported to the site owner it's up to him to make sure his site is visible everywhere... he should be willing to do it. Thanks again for all answers and support.
Shadowseeker Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Actually, it does not have to be the site owner's fault...(just pointing that out)
BFH Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Well then... I'm sure that if you change your dns you should be able to vote. However the choice is yours So... Topic Closed and Moved to Resolved Free Credits Problems. BFH
