Well i updated my dns 2 days ago and i can now see the new site at home i have set some of it up, but because i have the main files i need at work i need to upload stuff. But i cant as it goes to the old site.
So the problem is that i cant see my site at work but i can at home.
Solutions i have tried
Clearing cache, history etc.
cmd-> ipconfig /dnsflush
EDIT the website is
http://legacy-studios.co.uk/ the new one is mybb forums the old one is a greyish layout
Your work most likely has their network setup so that it caches DNS using a custom TTL. You're options:
1) Wait it out.
2) Contact your network admins and ask for them to clear the DNS cache.
3) Change your HOSTS file on your PC which will override any DNS server.
How would i change the HOSTS file, please can you give me more information
Thanks
Open your HOSTS file in notepad (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) then just add an entry for your domain with the new IP address for your server (examples are in the HOSTS file).
what ip address im confused :s
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

This file?
You would put your new server's IP address then the domain name on the same line.
208.115.247.243 legacy-studios.co.uk
If that file is named
hosts then yes, that is the correct one.
Ok i saved it dosent make a difference do i need to re clear the cache?
Nope, the HOSTS file overrides the cache.
Can you do a traceroute (Start > Run > cmd > tracert) to your website from work and post the results? If that doesn't work then do a traceroute to the IP (208.115.247.243).
