Title: Can't access GH on my Internet, ideas?
Post by: Halverson on Tue, 09 December 2014, 10:22:28

So about 15 hours ago I was on GH, then shortly after it "went down". Only a few hours later did I realize it was only me. It won't load on a MacBook, windows desktop nor wireless on tapatalk. Using my cellular network works fine on my phone though.

No idea why this started, no changes should have occurred when this happened. I've tried looking on the web and can't find much.

Cheers

Flushdns?

Yup, didn't fix it. Along with the basic unplugging and plugging in/resetting the router.
Currently looking at my router settings online.

Did you try setting your DNS to another IP? Like 8.8.8.8?

Nope, currently looking where to do that

Looks like I got it by manually changing the DNS in windows. Time to check other devices.

Ok so works on the computer I changed it on but not my phone.  Guess I'll need to change it on the router site.

Looks like my router doesn't allow DNS changes.

Changed my DNS manually on my phone, suppose that'll be fine. Thanks for the help CLiB

Still doesn't really solve what happened. Still curious as to why it happened at all in the first place.
