ARC forums “offline” on my Win11 desktop


Recommended Posts

I am at a total loss here. I can’t access the forums from my Win11 desktop, but can get online with my ancient iPad (actually my wife’s old iPad.

Anybody else having the same issue?

This is the error message I keep getting.

 

This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in www.arcforums.com.

If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

No idea. I'm surprised the forums are still working as well as they are. I can not change anything, update or nothing. All I am able to do is erase spam and fights.

Here's the REALLY Weird thing:

I was able to get online via my OLD iPad (Actually my Wife's old iPad that she gave to me when she upgraded.)

I NEVER use the iPad to "surf" the internet, other than look at Youtube videos or such.

I used the iPad to search for clues/suggestions, based on the error message. They said I needed to flush the DNS Server, and the easiest way was to unplug my cable Phone/Internet Modem, and let them reboot.

After they came back online, I was FINALLY able to access the ARC forums. 😛

Talk about Internet Withdrawal. 😥

That looks like something to stash away in the memory for a potential future 'just in case' scenario.
