Here is What Happened..

thumbtack	Date: June 13, 2003 @ 5:09 PM OK Folks, Here's what happened. At about 4:30 AM EDT the nameservers at TERRA-BYTE went down. They spent the next 8 hours or so getting them back up and running and pointing to the correct domain names. In the meantime, the daily DNS synch (internet wide) took place, while the TERRA-BYTE nameservers were pointing to another IP address for DMusic, and not at our server. Every ISP in the world picked it up. They have corrected the problem, and once the correct address propagates, we should be fine. That could be a couple of days for some of you depending on your isp. The new servers are fine, it didn't involve them, just the TERRA-BYTE nameservers. Nothing anyone here could do could have made a difference. We did not get hacked. No one sabotaged the site, All of your files are fine, No hosting accounts were affected, The new servers are working fine, (boycott-riaa is running fine), as soon as it's back up you'll be able to read this...

mracky	Date: June 13, 2003 @ 6:28 PM Hmmm...So, that's why I can't get to the classical music page. Well, time to stream some blues...
mracky	Date: June 13, 2003 @ 6:31 PM whoops, blues won't stream either...
thumbtack	Date: June 13, 2003 @ 8:15 PM Well we are now going to add a nameserver to our list o things to do.... until then the new DM Theme song is "Blame Canada"
Cryxan	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 5:52 AM But geeeez is it ever so frustrating to see other people logged in and posting and not being able to reply! Ack!" id="49518">Thank goodness it only took a day for me. sigh of relief Once this morning, I was able to open the Interact page and saw "Smelv1n posted a comment on the news article 'DNS handing out dmusic headaches.'" At least that cleared things up. But geeeez is it ever so frustrating to see other people logged in and posting and not being able to reply! Ack!
Rodrica	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 8:44 AM Oh that's good, we're back in business. At one point the other night I lost all of the USA. Last week I lost most of Europe...thought it was just me being careless or forgetful.
milladrive	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 10:35 AM I'm dialing up right now. I _hate_ dial up, heh, but my cable company sucks and most likely refreshes once a week, perhaps on Thursdays. heh
thumbtack	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 10:44 AM A lot of cable and dsl companies actually cache the pages, to speed things up...Mine is in the same boat at the moment...still hasn't refreshed as of yet..
monsquaz	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 11:42 AM I KNEW something was really screwy for the last few days. And it wasn't just on DMusic. My connection would go between the states of working fine, working VERY slowly, to not working at ALL. In no particular order.
thumbtack	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 2:09 PM I had to hack my hosts file to be able to get in...(kind of a local dsl for networks)
ChillinBuzz	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 6:21 PM nicely done too Bill
furiousBall	Date: June 14, 2003 @ 6:43 PM ok, now my logo isn't showing up and when i try to download mp3s or stream, my mp3 player (winamp) won't play anything
