Hello, and thank you for any help you gave me, I now finally have been able to reconnect, there was a mechanical problem with our router and it's fixed now.


SO NO NEED TO HELP ANYMORE WITH THIS ONE!
THANK YOU!
I am continuing to follow all of your stories and I hope for good success for you.

I am unable to get a connection to My Way Out. It appears there is something wrong between the site and my server.

Could someone just go to the site and make a thread, saying OceanaOcean says Hello! People are PMing me, and I am unable to respond because they are going through the site and I have no access.

If someone wants to email me, they can do so through MWO to my personal email and or send me their email address, or through this site. An e address for me is oceanaocean@yahoo.com

I am feeling VERY alone out here, this has been for almost 1 week now.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Best, OO

Hi OO - I posted your note in the General Discussion area - hope you can gain access again soon!
Feel free to keep posting here for moral support - everything else ok?

Best,

Hi Ocean

I just X posted with Happy so now you have 2 threads :)

Have you tried entering the site via a proxy site? That's what I do when a site doesn't want to let me in.

That is weird.

Are you in the US?

I cannot get to this site at work. All I get is the typical site not found message. I finally resigned to believe that maybe corporate had blocked it with the sonic wall though normally sonic was gives youa message. I would have asked my IT people but did not want to bring attention to myself. I am a closetted alcoholic.

Besides, I can get in with my PDA.

Hi all, Thanks! I had never experienced this problem before now. I was able to access the site today when I was in another town. I did then, too, email the site administrators as did WIP. Marabella and happy4once wrote for me in the MWO forum, thanks good people.

IT"S LONELY OUT HERE! But I feel so much better now having made a few connections.

Just home from town, so dinner, then I think a movie. I will check in tomorrow and see how everyone is doing,

BEST TO YOU TILL THEN, GOODNIGHT

Ocean, that has happened to me before but not with MWO I don't think- someone told me why it happens but I cannot remember now, but it should right itself in less than a week- something about internet providers updating DNS servers? Sorry really can't remember.

But it you go to google and type in proxy site, then go to the proxy site and type in www.mywayout.org you should be able to go in just fine.

More than likely, MWO changed their ISP or the location where they are hosting the site, resulting in an IP change. Propagation of this IP change through the DNS infrastructure isn't instantaneous, but can take 3-5 days. It is not uncommon for one person to successfully connect to a site while another cannot, because the one DNS has been updated while the other has not yet.

Give it a couple days or use this IP address:

[root@nameserver ~]# nslookup mywayout.org

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mywayout.org
Address: 74.200.73.142

I did try to enter a proxy site but did not have access.

I tried [root@nameserver~]#nslookupmywayout.org

Am I to type that in (as above)? If so I did not get anywhere.

I am not very computer savvy, trying my best.

I will keep trying!
Thank you, we will get me there
