Virgin Media and the SFc-online.net domain

For some reason Virgin Media (VM) cable internet customers are having trouble accessing the sfc-online.net domain name. I'm talking to the tech guys direct about the issue but in the mean time can ye give out the www.sfccss.co.uk domain when telling people to sign up..... which you should all be doing.... if you love us... which I'm sure you do.

Say Hello to the new gamers that come into the servers, make them feel welcome and like they've found a cool server to hang out in ( Which they have ).

Cheers Guys and Guyettes.

im on vm =] it works fine if u go on https://sfcforums.editboard.com

yeh I know... thats not ma point tho. Throughout the servers its advertised at sfc-online.net and if ye on VM it won't work.

this is strange cos im having no problems using the .net adress and im with Virgin

Cable or through ye phone line?

cable, tho on speedtest.net and similar sites im still shown as being on telewest even tho my bills are to virgin =S

I'm on Virgin Cable and connect to sfc-online.net and have not had any problems at all, it just redirects to https://sfcforums.editboard.com.

VM bought out ntl, telewest and blueyonder. Basically the entire cable based network.

So yours is working? Are ye in Southampton?

I'm in Plymouth at the moment. My broadband shows up as VM.

Maybe its a local routing problem then. hummm... interesting.

I have spoken to a friend at virgin, and he said they were working on the dns servers, and being rather funky with their caching. it wouldn't affect mine as i run through an admin home server and the server clears the cache automatically after every log on. that could have stopped people getting on i guess. if people are still having probs they could try flushing their dns (ipconfig /flushdns), that may work, but i think its just virgin doing some maintenance and not telling anyone.

Also noticed the time is wrong on your forum, it is an hour ahead. thought it was getting close to home time then!!!!!!

nothing wrong with the time on the forum you have your settings wrong in your profile thats all.

Cheers Iceman, didn't even look under the preferences section.

after all i said, got home from work and can't access the site from virgin cable anymore. had to go to sfccss.co.uk.

p.s. can't even ping the site name www.sfc-online.net from VM, is there a redirect to another site? it doesn't seem to resolve the name at all.

ahh see, im not mental.

basically the domain uses the namecheap.com 'nameservers / DNS' and I have told it to forward to this forum from within the namecheap.com control panel.

It was working for me today for a little bit too but soon buggered off again.

I've got a few other domains with namecheap.com aswell... all with the same problems.

Started about a week a go, today has been the first sign of life since then... if a little short lived.

Someones been fiddling.

does sound like it!!

If you need any space to host websites from i have around 5 or 6 spare that i am not using at the moment, am happy to give you all the admin for the relevant control panels and php admin boards if you need them (each has 2gb). just let me know if you need any. you can change the nameservers etc.. to these if you continue to get problems with namecheap.com . I have two cs:source servers that i haven't set up yet aswell so if you need an extra space while you do maintenance on your server, again let me know and i can give you details so you have somewhere to play while fixing it up. just send me an email and i'll have a chat about it if you ever need it.

anyway hope you get it all sorted.
