Bilbo Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 Is anyone else having problems logging onto Foxestalk? All week I've been getting "server not found" messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 For some reason Sky have incorrect DNS entries for FoxesTalk so people using Sky broadband are having problems getting on. until Sky clear/update their cache which should sort the issue out there's nothing I can do. What I would suggest though is change your DNS services to somewhere else e.g. Google (their DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), I believe this will fix the problem for now.

Basingstoke Fox Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 I had these issues all day yesterday and abit this morning. We're using Tesco Broadband at home and I use Vodafone on my mobile (using my WiFi and the 3G network) and I was unable to access the site on either. I assumed it was more issues with the server but then I saw tweets from Foxestalk from where new threads were being created. Then I wondered if any IP address that I use had been blocked because I'm on this site too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 That's weird, strange that other people haven't flagged it up before now. I did but as I got no response I thought it was me so have spent the last week trying all sorts of things. I can get on now and again when I clear all data from Chrome but it doesn't always work. i have the same problem with the generic Internet app they came with my tablet.

Bilbo Posted 2 August 2013 Author Share Posted 2 August 2013 Sometimes I can get on (as I started this topic) however only sporadically. I have to soak up as much info as I can win I do manage to get on mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristianity77 Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 Yeah I think we first thought it was a Sky issue. I was not able to log on at all yesterday throughout the day. But then i tried on my phone a couple of times, through 3G (o2) and still couldnt get on. God knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted 2 August 2013 Author Share Posted 2 August 2013 It must be something to do with them updating/changing the server (don't know the technicalities) because I've never had this problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterboyuk Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 Same phone via wifi and I get straight on. Seems to be o2 3G - other sites work fine on 3G, very strange...

whoareyaaa Posted 2 August 2013 Share Posted 2 August 2013 Fine here apart from one or two hours last week I think, on Virgin though so that's probably why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
