hello ppl.
i am unable to access a certain website.

alpha.astroempires.com/
astroempires.com/
forum.astroempires.com/

these guys had a massive ddos attack last week, so they installed something to block it off.
the site is up now, and everyone can use it, except me. i can still access it using proxies, like ninjacloak.(but it is severely crippled)

i talked with them, and they confirmed that they were not blocking my ip from their end, and advised me to do this :

If you're experiencing difficulties accessing our game servers, it could be because your ISP is blocking our IPs or you are being blocked by our DDoS proxy. It could also that your IPS hasn't updated their DNS, but this is more remote since enough days have passed for them to update properly.
Here's a few suggestions on how to try and overcome this:
- Reset your internet connection (modem/router) to try and force it to update the DNS information.
- Update your browser to the latest version or try using a different browser.
- Check your computer for spyware/malware and clean it. You can use free tools such as SpyBot, AdAware or Microsoft Security Essentials.


1. how to reset net connection?
i did ipconfig/flushdns
2.used all the latest browsers
3. im almost sure i have no malware/spyware

i have used the site for 2 years now, and nothing like this has ever happened before.

im using airtel broadband 1mbps unlimited plan.
tried it on :
windows vista, mozilla 4,opera 11, google chrome
ubuntu 10.10 maverick, mozilla 3.6, opera 11, midori, epiphany

nothing works. please help me out. this is one of my fav mmo's. i've already put in a good amount of effort into this, and i wouldnt like it to be all gone.

I think resetting means removing the plugs of LAN from your PC switching off modem ans starting it again. Or reinstalling OS is simplest solution for me.

208.67.220.220
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.1

yup, changing the DNS servers should work. Change in the modem's settings page: *192.168.1.1/ if you use PPPoE mode.

Otherwise, if you use Bridged mode (dial from the computer), change the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf

well, answer me.

How do you connect to the internet?

1) I switch on the modem and it automatically connects.

2) I switch on the modem and then "dial" from the computer.

Then only changing from *192.168.1.1/ will work.

Open the page, log in and then enter this: *192.168.1.1/index.html or *192.168.1.1/main.html

This should reveal some advance settings.

The connection has timed out
The server at alpha.astroempires.com is taking too long to respond.

Use
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220 (Open DNS)

instead of 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1.

& also try 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS)

the above ones did not work(208....)

what abt the secondary dns for google?
lol, I actually use all three of them.

Primary: 4.2.2.2
Secondary: 208.67.222.222
2nd Secondary :mrgreen:: 8.8.8.8

Honestly, this is most likely to be a DNS problem. The websites which you mentioned are loading fine for me.
