Geting Network Error and dns_server_failure on DF Aug 19, 2009
Recently I've been getting this error while trying to access DF. I know the site is not down as I can access it through google translate, but then can't log in. And sometimes like now its perfectly alright ?

I tried doing the ipcofig/ dnsflush on cmd prompt but no good. Any ideas

I always, always get this error. Then I just switch to a proxy and the error vanishes!

There's this other error I get, where I just can't log in or I keep logging out. Again my remedy is to switch to a proxy.

This happened to me too, it goes away after a while like a day or two, and it works straight away if i use a proxy. I dont know whats going on :p

From my experience, it only happens on Du's network. Has anyone experienced it on Etisalat's network?

With Etisalat, the website occasionally takes longer to load, otherwise everything is fine.

Try deleting your cookies, so it's forced to refresh everytime.

This DNS error has nothing to do with your cookies, it is because your ISP's Bad infrastructure, which causes routing issues.

I got this error on many websites , not just DF.

this routing error is caused by DNS misconfiguration, (probably the DNS cache is full, and they forgot to empty it ) :laughing6: :laughing6:
