DNS Problem

[Anonymous]

I seem to be having a problem getting to my server and I think the culprit is good old DNS.

Can somebody please try the following and tell me which works (if any)?

tracert 82.41.75.121
tracert //www.sutherlandweb.co.uk

cheers

I cannot connect to either IP or address.

IP pings OK.

//www.sutherlandweb.co.uk pings as 212.4.208.117

Thanks peeps. DNS from here seems to be royally screwed up if you ask me.

The IP that OB got resolved is the IP of the DNS server that is meant to be managing DNS requests

Strangely, I cannot even trace to the 82.41.75.121 IP so there may be a further problem at this end (work that is)

Mmmm, maybe it ain't DNS. Here is trace to same box using different CNAME:

Hang on, sutherland points to the 213 whatever address, bb.dead etc points to the 80 whatever. Are they the same box?

not //www.sutherland.co.uk but //www.sutherlandweb.co.uk

I'm at home now. Problem solved. My router had lost it's port forwarding information!!!

Don't know how. The manual ports were all OK (CS and stuff) it was the uPNP stuff that went FUBAR (mail and web)
