Pretty sure the IP comes first. If it's waiting forever though, it's not a DNS problem. The server replied but didn't send anything (or whatever it sent didn't get there) and hasn't closed the connection, so it's still waiting for it to send something. |

If it says it's "Waiting for..." the site, it's already found the DNS entry, but is unable to contact the site itself (if it was a DNS issue, it would say "Looking up..."). You can try what Ailure suggested, but I doubt it'll work. I had a similar problem recently that was only solved by resetting (full power-cycle, not the reset button) both my cable modem and router. |

My bet is that your nearest DNS server is little screwy, you need to add a entry that goes somewhat like this in the hosts file
212.27.40.180 stifu.free.fr
Let me check when I get home later, with the hosts file. I forgot if you had the IP first or if it was the DNS. -.- |

http://stifu.free.fr/Board/index.php is a site I visit pretty often. But lately, it hasn't been loading up. I've tried it in both IE and Mozilla, and all I get is "waiting for stifu.free.fr..."
It stays on that forever. I've waited over an hour (was watching tv)
I asked a friend on MSN to check it out and he said it loaded straight away. Every other site loads up fine besides this one.
Last night it took me a few tries to get it to load, but now I'm not having any luck at all.
Thanking in advance. |
