I can't subscribe... :SNIFF:

Time outs and unavailables

Wednesday, October 5, 2005 by Bichur | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Just curious at the moment...I have been trying to renew my WC subscription (2 months early) and my OD subscription (runs out in a couple of weeks) but FireFox is getting time outs at the renewal stage and IE can't find the page when it kick over to the secure site.

Is The Store having issues?

On a side note - updated SDC yesterday...today it can't log in, WC Browser can. And SDC say my OD subcription expires $RETCODE=1$....This mean I get a discount once I get through?

Did you try to flush dns yet?

Start > Run > cmd > Enter > type: ipconfig /flushdns > Enter.

Bichur...just check the serial number carefully..when I went to renew early...the serial number that Stardock generated in an email reply was the serial number from the last WC contest. That is not my serial number..and T-Man had sent an email back then saying the numbers had been registered to the proper parties...apparently not......

Maybe they forgot to set the Troll Block to a Per Troll basis.

Fairyy,

You can think of it as clearing the cache in the network (internet) connection, to clear any incorrect (or outdated) information.

A DNS server basically converts (or connect) the site name you type in your address field to the numbered IP address of the site, so that your browser can download the correct page for viewing.

I hope that sheds some light on it, I am no expert by any means in networking.

He, He Bichur, seems like you fell victim to the troll-proof Stardock filter.

Still timed out at the store, still weird expiration for OD subscript. Even restored SDC back to see if that would help.

I once accedently flushed the dns of a University Computer. It somehow released all IPs and got off from the domain.

I still havn't managed to get it back on.

Assuming a DHCP configuration, you should be able to go into Local Area Connections > right-click adapter icon > Properties > select Intenet protocols TCP/IP, and double-click to invoke Properties dialog > make sure Obtain IP address automatically, and Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected > reboot computer.

If all above is selected, you also run the command: ipconfig /renew (note - for a specific adapter only, you would run ipconfig /renew [adaptername]).

If the computer is on static IP, you will need to find out what the address is.
