Getting Access to DN

If you can't get to Darknest then try the following:

- clear you browser cache
- flush your dns (google it to see how)

If that doesn't work then you're going to have to be patient until your connection eventually clues in that DN is there :P

Tried clearing my cache and flushing my dns. No luck =/. Oh wells looks like I'm going to have to be patient. Only thing worse than not having Darknest up is knowing it's up but you can't access it =(

Flushing DNS only works if your ISP's nameservers have already updated. If they haven't, open up

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and add, on one line:

204.187.100.100 www.darknestfantasyerotica.com

You should remove this after a couple of days, to give normal dns name changes their chance to update (eg in case of a future server move)

For those of us who use Macintosh Computers, in Leopard, open up your terminal (Finder/Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and enter the command "dscacheutil -flushcache" to flush your DNS, however, it didn't work for me...Must be patient! My ISP is being silly. Pleegwat, any idea on how to do that with a mac?

Should be up by now anyway, but still, for future reference:

I'm not sure about the mac, but look for a file called just 'hosts', no extension. On linux and BSD it is /etc/hosts, that is also the first place I'd look on a mac.

Is Darknest down again? I've been trying the last few days with no luck. :(

I'm getting an "Address Not Found" error when trying to access darknest. It worked fine until yesterday :\

Anyone else having the same problem? Is it down again?

As far as I know.. yes, Darknest is down again. And I was just starting to look forward to 3.0+ mods :(
