Nameservers, propagating, dns help

Mupepe · February 20th, 2007, 7:59 PM

Okay, I bought my domain from yahoo! and created a starter page there. After surpasshosting gave me all my information, i went in and changed the nameservers.

The next day, the site began working for everybody I showed it to. they could view the forum, i installed, my front page, everything.

I've been viewing it from two different places, work and home.

At home: I can see everything with my forum perfectly. Works fine, just way it should.

Work: if I go to my website domain name, (ex: domain.com) then I get the starter webspage that yahoo uses. if i put in my ip address (ex:12.13.45.324 or whatever), I get the cpanel default page. However, I can still use my temporary cpanel login with the ipaddress (ex 12.12.124.132/cpanel) and get into my cpanel. But I can't view anything else at work. domain.com/forum doesn't work, I get a page not found error.

It has been over 72 hours already. Did I maybe do something wrong?

Sounds like your works ISP just hasn't been able to flush out DNS to grab your new website.

If you're on a Windows PC try this out:
Go to your start bar
Select Run
Type in "cmd" without the quotes
Then type in"ipconfig /flushdns" without quotes

I tried that just a few minutes ago and still the same issue. Any other ideas??

Check the propagation on the Internet..

Enter you domain, and see if the DNS servers show it pointed to your surpass sever... If it is pointed to Surpass, then your local DNS hasn't updated.

Okay cool.

Everything points to my surpass server.

So it's the just server that my isp or my company is using that needs to update?

Yep. that's it. As long as the main DNS servers on the Internet are good you should be good to go.

Your local ISP or company DNS needs to get it's update. I've had situations in the past where it has taken 48hrs for it to clear up at the local DNS. It would work, then not work, then work.. Frustrating, but it clears up.
