Pooks Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 ISP? How do I find that out? I'm not those IP's. This is f**king gay. Internet Service Provider. Who do you connect to the internet with? There could be other issues. I noticed that a traceroute (for me) seems to take quite a long route before it gets to the site. It could be that your machine is timing out before it accesses the page.

trout Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Your ISP is who you're paying every month to access the Internet!! I presume you'll be on a windows box? Goto: Start >> Run >> Type in "cmd" and press enter >> type "ipconfig" and press enter Then there your IP in all its glory! If you're on wireless or going through a router then goto this site: www.whatsmyip.org/ infact just go there ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAStewart Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm a fool, I knew that Its with Zetnet I know my IP isn't one of those. It is like it does a time out when loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 You can try manually adding Zetnet's DNS settings to your connection. They used to be 194.247.47.47 and 194.247.40.126 for Zetnet although they may have changed so it might be worth checking first. Failing that you could try having a look here:- http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/fc.htm It basically runs on your machine as a DNS server so that it won't go off trawling the internet to find out where Shetlopedia lives. Once it knows it will point you right there. Gary might be able to give you the direct IP for Shetlopedia to try as well. When I tried it then it resolved to an IP at which no site was configured. I presume that this is at his hosting end and Shetlopedia is pointing to a different directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 JAStewart. I'm looking into this. It is likely to be an problem with your ISP. I'll send you an email with some info. CheersGary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Just spoken to someone who uses Zetnet as their ISP and they can access it fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustMe Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 It isn't working again. Worked ok for me using Firefox......well ok ish........took a while to connect but did so before it timed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 It isn't working again. Did you try any of the suggestions? 'It isn't working', doesn't give a lot of background to where the problem may lie... Try using a dial-up connection, that will at least close the problem down to your machine or an isp problem. Shetland Internet uses Zetnets servers in a roundabout way (or at least they used to). If you can connect to the Shetlopedia site with this then it rules out a problem with your machine. Username:= shetlandPassword:= internetTelephone number:- 08456043607 If that connects and you still have problems then seek out some of the other free 0845 dialup connections from other ISP's. If they work then it could simply be a Zetnet/Shetland Internet DNS issue. Probably quite simple to sort out if they know about it. If they don't then how can they fix it? Feedback helps.

Fifi Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I did a straw poll with some Zetters. --------- "It seems to work fine for me. Obviously only justup and running as various pages say you have followed a link to a pagewhich doesn't exist yet, or this is a placeholder.. but theforums/news/photos and so on all work fine. There is some comment about a few quirks in the forum but didn't read through." - Wed 12th 13.57 --------- "No problems here (Spalding) on broadband. (Lots of the links seem to go to pages not yet written.) No sign of FiFi under "notable Shetland residents" - I take it that will soon be rectified ? )" - Wed 12th 13.12 ---------- "Problems yesterday, none today." - Wed 12th 16.14 ----------- "Can't get it to load off this machine, just won't do a DNS lookup on it.However our server in London found it [unrelated to Zetnet]. Homeconnection via Zetnet BB. Do you know if they are using a Thompson Speedtouch ADSL unit for theirconnection?" - Wed 12th 19.04 ---------- "No data can be loaded for this URL @ 10.18 tonite" - Wed 12th ---------- "working here 10.33 They are using ukreg / fasthosts... didn't someone once say in herethere was often a lot of downtime with fasthosts?" - Wed 12th ------------ "Worked fine here at 2244h tonight." - Wed 12th ------------- ""Firefox can't find the server at www.shetlopedia.com."23.18 tonight, Zet BB in Canterbury - Wed 12th --------------- "Not here @ 22.31 GMT" - Wed 12th --------------- "No probs here with Firefox and Thomson's Speedtouch Connection,Orange/Wanadoo/Freeserve broadband AND Win XP Home!!" - Thurs 13th 00.14 --------------- "Don't seem to have any problems here (when tried with Firefox on PC)- looked at a few pages, the view all images was taking a long time to display all 48 so stopped." - Thurs 13th 00.35 --------------- "Their DNS servers appear to be occasionally saying that the domaindoesn't exist. " Paul Martin, Technical Director Zetnet, Manchester - Thurs 13th 08.05 ---------------- Hope this is of some help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Good to see the Zetty community is still as helpful as ever Looking at that it would appear to be an intermittent problem mostly with Zetnet's users. I had a problem accessing the site once but that was long before it was mentioned on Shetlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooks Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I take it that it is working then... I have had a look now and again but would have to admit I haven't spent a great amount of time there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
