Title: Newbie needs advice on DNS
Post by: lesterkwok on April 16, 2007, 04:34:57 PM

I have a question. I have installed SME Server 7.1.

However, something is really weird. There are people who are able to access our website orpheusdive.com but there are also people who complains that they are not able to access it at all, except from our ip (202.157.130.194)

I know this sounds like a DNS problem. but i have tried switching registrars but to no avail.

Our ISP has given us Primary and Secondary DNS but I have not idea where to update or should we even update the SME server since we are using registrars for our DNS.

Any suggestions is appreciated

I was able to check with nslookup your current IP

Name:    orpheusdive.com
Address:  202.157.130.194

is it static or dynamic?

Note that when you change DNS with your registrars it may take up to a couple of days until DNS servers learn your new IP.

I can confirm that it works fine (both ip and domain).
