An Old Problem back... Maybe a quick fix
« on: June 08, 2007, 05:48:55 am »
Well, I posted this a little over half a year ago:

http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2764&start=0

I got a fix from somethief, who said:

Quote
my guess is that when they moved it, some DNS cache got a wrong value (can that happen??)

The IP is 72.36.226.187 (at the moment, does it change?)
try putting it in the hosts file.
i *think* on windows its C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
and then stick a line
master.tremulous.net 72.36.226.187

this is of course only a temp fix, if it even works.


Well, that did work. But I havn't played in 5 months, and when I opened up my Trem, no servers are coming up again. I have a feeling that IP address changed, but I am not certain. Any ideas what it is or what a fix is for this?

I did ipconfig /flushdns, just to add.

Any help noted.

The master server has moved once or twice is the last few months.
The address is now:
208.116.49.110
replace your
Code: [Select]
master.tremulous.net 72.36.226.187
with
Code: [Select]
master.tremulous.net 208.116.49.110

I figured this was the case. Thanks, Ben.

Where can I find the IP for the next time it changes?

well, you're explicitly disabling the way you would would normally find an ip (dns), you should try getting rid of that entry to see if you get the proper ip without it.

And if I don't, the IP is located...?

Thanks for the help  :)

the ip is located on a dns server, there's no simple way to find the ip address of something if your isp's dns cache is stale.

You can get it here: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?%26name%3Dmaster.tremulous.net%26type%3DA

Its moved twice, (in the last year or so), and every time there is big stuff on here.

master.tremulous.net is really tremmaster.tjw.org.


The cheek of it... I suppose it explains this though:

If your provider gives you a bad dns, just use one of the root-servers. they are out there.

openDNS is good, other than spamming yahoo search results at you.
Stick them in a backup for if your ISP fails though.  My ISP dns goes down sometimes.  Very annoying.
