And, sadly, again the site refuses to work for me.

Got it working just last night, and now it's acting like the site doesn't even exist. :(

Here's a snippett from a discussion, maybe it'll help you

Perhaps we should just give the IP.Â

The downside is that because of Host: based server virtualization, it won't help. :(
(Literally, it won't)

By the way, the proper way to take care of local DNS issues is:
ipconfig /flushdns

Not turning off the cache completely.

The TTL on the domain is set to 15m.

Another thing to try if All Else Fails:
Both of the following CAN work. If one doesn't, try the other.

If you previously had "catsANDcameras", please thwap yourself for being silly. :)

Problem is, I suck at computer tech, so I don't even know how to do those tips.
I mean where on by browser or computer do I go to put that in? :/

I'm completely computer tech illiterate. The most I know how to do is play games & surf the web. >.<;

Windows XP and lower: Start -> Run -> Type cmd and hit enter.
Windows Vista/7 -> Windows Icon -> Enter Command into the search dialog -> Right click on Command Prompt and hit Run as Administrator.

On both, in the black window that appears, type: ipconfig /flushdns. You should see something like this:
C:\Users\Admin>ipconfig /flushdns

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Followed your instructions to the letter.
Still can't access site. :(

It's possible a DNS server further up in the chain isn't honoring the time to live value. Try this:
Open notepad (administrator notepad on Vista/7, same as the command window in the last comment).
File -> Open, then paste this: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Then add this line and save the file:
67.213.223.162 catsncameras.com

Just remember to delete that out of there in a couple of days, if their server changes addresses again it'll break for you until you remove the line.

Ok, now that worked. Thanks!

But if I delete it in a few days, soesn't that mean I won't be able to access it anymore?

Like I said, this stuff, while I'm able to follow these step by step instructions, make no sense to me as to how/why it works.

Like teaching someone to shoot a gun. Point it at target & pull trigger is easy to follow, but the technical aspects as to why it works aren't known to everyone. ;P

Here's the slightly more technical version. Whenever you enter a web address, say www.google.com, a server on the internet called a DNS server responds with an IP address. The IP address is the actual address, and the name is just a pointer to it.

Think of an IP address as the address of your house, and the DNS name as a P.O. Box. Mail will get to you either way.

The problem is that when a server's IP address changes, all the DNS servers in the world don't always update the record properly. My guess is somewhere between you and CnC a server is holding onto the old record and not letting it go. The hope is that if you give it a little more time it may realize that it has old data and grab the new record, so the change you made won't be needed anymore.

What you've done is tell Windows that, regardless of what your DNS servers thing, it should use 67.213.223.162 for that address. Windows will ALWAYS look at the hosts file first, before hitting the internet with a question.

Ok, I think I understand better.
So, should I keep that line there until another CnC IP addy change, or would deleting it in a few days mean that it's memorized where it now needs to go, so that line I added is unimportant?

To be safe you should delete it in a few days. You don't want to try to figure out why the site isn't working months from now when you've forgotten you made that change. ;)

nope site still appears to be down.

If you're still having issues I've posted a fix a little bit above this message. :)

Worked a little while back, enough for me to see the comic. Not working again. Not sure why and I don't have time to investegate.

Also your fix is for Windows. I use Ubuntu.

'sudo vim /etc/hosts' from a console window on Ubuntu. :)

Actually, you might need to use vi. I'm not sure if vim is installed by default.

vi and vim are both text editors. Basically like notepad but with more features.

Also the hosts file has nothing to do with the problem involved. Just contains basic information.

Um, I do know what vi and vim are. I'm trying to let you know how to work around the problem, which is bad DNS. Adding an entry in hosts WILL fix it, at least temporarily.

Sadly, quite a few places don't honor the minimum TTL.

I had problems like that, too (site didn´t work for some time, then it worked and then it seemed to be down again) But now it works perfectly.

All I know is, at the moment, it won't load the site, so I cannot view the update, nor can I order Manilla's portfolio once it's released to the CnC store. :(

Hmmm now where we´re talking about it the site doesn´t work for me, again DX

haha, the brilliant "do not want!" face from the cream XD

I cannot wait to read this! Everything is so funny in there. Now it is in color! Neat!

Tried all that was suggested and still couldn't get it to work.

[laughs] Do not come in between a preditor and her prey ;)

Can't access the website either, and first time visiting it on my android phone.

Oh god you could bottle Bella's expression in panel 2 and usher in a new era of WORLD PEACE.
