using chrome, firefox, or IE. Getting server not found message. But I see other people posting. I can get on from my phone, but hate to type from phone. I am finally on mobile site at cpu.

Am I the ONLY one with this problem???

IF so how do I fix it?

Are you a Suddenlink customer?

No. Roadrunner, through Time warner.

Server not found







Firefox can't find the server at www.texags.com.





Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I get virtually the same message with all three browers. I was up before six am, and got the message then. Tried again later, Finally checked on my phone and mobile is working. So I finally got on the site with the cpu--way too hard to type on a phone--and see no huge downtime from posts. So it must be my computer, but I have no idea how to fix it.. I prefer the full site, but the mobile is better than no texags.

yeah, we had a dns mishap. it was corrected early this morning, but it appears a couple ISPs are holding on to the invalid DNS record much longer than they are supposed to.

If you know how to change your DNS servers, you can update them to Google's public DNS at:

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

else, you are at the mercy of whenever your ISP decides to update their DNS records (something that should have happened hours ago).

in windows 7:
goto:
Control Panel
-> Network and Internet
--> Network and Sharing Center
---> Change adapter settings

right-click on your internet connection
select 'Properties'
highlight 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)'
select 'Properties'

In Preferred DNS server enter sequence: 8.8.8.8
In Alternate DNS server enter sequence: 8.8.4.4

Select OK, Select Close

for what's its worth, after years of getting frustrated with the poor manner in which cable ISPs facilitate their DNS, I always use Google's DNS servers (who seem to know what they are doing).

The mobile version is working for me...but not on my PC.

I have Time Warner (Austin Area).

That did the trick - thanks.

I've been good since this morning on campus on the desktop.

However, I'm using ATT Iphone and can't get to texags (mobile or regular) on the phone. Any way to get this part to work? I know nothing about phones with this stuff. I've done a power cycle and cleared history/cookies/cache on it.

Having same problem with AT&T wireless on iPhone.

What's the usual downtime for something like this (for the lazy ISP's, that is)?

Either it magically fixed in the two minutes between my posts, or the reboot on my iPhone did the trick for me.

I've just added texags.com to my hosts file.

I can get spotty service through TW for the mobile site, but still can't get on through the regular site.

I can't access the mobile site or the full site from my iPhone (AT&T). I tried clearing the cache and cookies. I also tried rebooting iPhone. Still no luck. Any ideas?

Still not able to use my link to full texags, and mobile site only working every now and then. I can't type well enough from the phone to make that useful, so I really miss Texags. I hope this gets sorted out. Right now I got through with chrome, but firefox not working, and ONLY on the mobile site. No point even trying the ipad since it is wifi and uses the same time warner.

set your dns to googles (google has directions) then it will work.

How do you change the DNS on an iPhone. AT&T. Not working. Hasn't worked all day

I'm having the same problem with no access from my iphone. All addresses (www.texags.com, m.texags.com, mobile.texags.com, texags.com) eventually say Cannot Open Page - Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found. Sometimes, it replaces the address that I've typed with v4.texags.com but still 'Cannot Open Page'.
