Okay Techies out there this should be simple for you.

RIght now I'm posting onto ADTalk by using ADTalk's IP address.
When I try to use www.adultdvdtalk.com
I get a DNS error and host not found.
I do a ping on Adultdvdtalk.com
Host not found.
But this is only a problem when I'm at home. Using my Earthlink DSL.
when I use the webiste
http://visualroute.visualware.com/
to make sure Adultdvdtalk.com is not accessible.
Nope, it says its working and gives me the ip address.

SO I ping the IP address I get a response. SO I get here from the IP address.

So what may be the problem?
I have three computers here connected via the router.
Is it a.
1. Problem with the router.
2. Problem with EarthLink
3. Some DNS server out there between earthlink and ADTalk is messed up?
4. Evil's stuff just sucks.

Any ideas? How do I fix this problem
thanks guys

it looks like you are using a crappy dns server. normally this kind of problems you mentioned shouldn't appear, since the nameservers worldwide are normally "in sync" but sometimes shit happens...

try another one.

cheers, waterproof

I don't think its just Earthlink anymore.
Almost everything is back to normal now.
Guess something out there got messed up..,

It could be, the night before you had your problem I could use ADT but if I tried to check my mail I got a DNS failure for no entry found.
