404 - Not Found

05-13-2010, 02:13 PM

Every time i try to log in i get a blank white screen, with the words/numbers, "404 - Not Found".

via email, Jeff has already instructed me to clear my browser cache, and restart my computer. I have done this about 6 times, as well as a few other tricks, and nothing seems to work.

stuck in a rut

I’ve been having frequent problems connecting for several weeks now. I don’t get the 404 message, mine is a page at opendns.com with:
Hmm, racewarkingdoms.com isn't loading right now.
The computers that run racewarkingdoms.com are having some trouble. Usually this is just a temporary problem, so you might want to try again in a few minutes.

Checking which nameservers are failing usually shows:
Nameserver trace for racewarkingdoms.com:
Looking for who is responsible for root zone and followed e.root-servers.net.
Looking for who is responsible for com and followed f.gtld-servers.net.
Looking for who is responsible for racewarkingdoms.com and followed ns1.geodns.net.

Nameservers for racewarkingdoms.com:
ns1.geodns.net returned (SERVFAIL)
ns2.geodns.net returned (SERVFAIL)

If I keep trying I eventually get through. When I can’t connect with the URL I can ping the servers and then usually get into the game using their IP addresses. That trick doesn’t seem to work with the forums. I don’t have this problem with any other web sites.
