Its been about a week since this site changed servers. I've been too patient! I need regular access to get my BB fix! :) A friend of mine has no problem accessing this site... however, I can't from my computer or my brothers. Right now I'm using that Anonymous suggestion that was posted on Enbcom. However, it is much too slow to use. Is this still a DNS problem? If anyone reads this and knows the problem, please email it to me at tmleafs4life@hotmail.com as I probably won't be able to access this site again.

Thanks again, but nothing has worked. After all the suggestions given I decided to call my internet provider's technical support line, and the lady seemed to know less about DNS than I do. Everytime I brought up DNS she kept saying she could "PING" the site, and it says the page had been "changed" in some way today, Aug 17. She also told me that using this site's NAMESERVER would possibly interfere with my accessing the internet.

Quick question, WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS THESE BOARDS NORMALLY EVER AGAIN? Its been about a week and a half. And using that @nonymouse is getting tiresome.

Tmleafs4life Ask her if SHE can get to the site ... if she can't then she *SHOULD* escalate the problem to someone that has a clue!

She couldn't get on to the site. So she basically didn't try anything else. So she let me go.

Tmleafs4life: Using Bomis' DNS will NOT interfere with your internet access. In fact, it might actually improve it since your ISP doesn't seem to have a real updated server ... try putting the DNS I e-mailed you into your configuration and see if you can get to the site. It SHOULD work.
Let me know here or e-mail me ... I'll check there too.

Draheid - could you send me your instructions too - I need to forward them to Buttercup who is still not able to access the board either.

Prezli: don't think you have told us what Mac OS you have. Is it OS X?

And when you say you paste these urls in your browser, are you referring to the "locations" you have in the Realone player?

Thanks

I'm also another person that can't get to the site from home. At work my provider is Covad; connect fine. Home is Roadrunner. Any suggestions will be great. I really like this site!

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all,

Here's another situation. I have a cable modem, when I try to access the tvclubhouse message board through Internet Explorer,it gives me the error page, If I sign on America Online, then access the message baord,no problem... got any solutions?, I have a teenage son, so I have to share my AOL time. Also I'm in the endless loop of "sign in" for the live feeds. At this very moment I'm getting the "Thank you for calling RealOne,We know your time is important, please continue to hold" argggggggggggggggg

Ok..I asked this a few days ago..but got no response in a different thread. I am having trouble BIG TIME accessing links on this sight. I keep getting the "can't find website" error. It is not my computer! Is anyone else having this problem? I love this sight but since the server change I've had problems accessing links. I've had to resort to going to another update board because of this problem.

FYI: I can no longer access www.bigbrotherfanclub.com - keep getting the generic screen for Network Solutions. :-( No biggie, but I'm just so used to typing in bigbrotherfanclub, it's just taking a bit to get used to tvclubhouse.com, but you stil might want to look into why bbfc isn't working because you're probably paying $$$ for a link that doesn't forward to other address.

I had the same problem, couldn't get to this site, but BBFCGail gave me an alternate addy that worked. And I have Roadrunner too, but they said it wasn't their fault! But maybe it is since us rr.com-ers seem to be affected!

I'm finally able to access this site! Yay! Thanks to everyone! Draheid, especially to you because you've tried to help me since day one. I'm not sure why I am now able to access the boards. I did forward my DNS information to Neil, so maybe that was part of the solution.

We ARE aware that www.bigbrotherfanclub.com is not working - this is the second time this year that network solutions has screwed up.

Tmleafs4life - your info probably did help (and others as well), it seems that ANOTHER provider "above.net" was not reporting correct information, information that was used by a lot of other ISPs (AOL and Roadrunner).
