Thread: Any idea how long will this take?

SRP has single IP address and a single authoritative DNS server that always has the correct IP, but there are thousands of other DNS servers which synch with the authoritative answer. They don't do it very often, so whenever there is a change it takes time for it to propagate.
The google DNS servers are quite good, so using them instead of the ones from your internet provider may yield better results. They do have the correct info.

Code:

$dig @8.8.8.8 straightrazorplace.com

;; ANSWER SECTION:
straightrazorplace.com.	29141	IN	A	66.219.18.121


$dig @8.8.4.4 straightrazorplace.com

;; ANSWER SECTION:
straightrazorplace.com.	29141	IN	A	66.219.18.121

So, if your computer doesn't find SRP, just change the DNS on the network settings to the google's servers and it should work. The link in my first post has instructions how to do it on various operating systems.

Jimmy paypal set up without password for you just log in. and use my name. by the way it has (-) balance . You may willing to pay off.

i don't know whether xp can share screen via chat, like you can do on osx, but here's how you set up the dns server:
Windows XP: Managing your network connections

the last screenshots should have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. for preferred and alternate dns server on the bottom.

I had the same issue nd my server provider basically said stiff bikkies, nothing they could do. I don't know what happened to sort it out, but it was OK after a few days of frustration.

Problem resolved finally.
thank you all

Ah, finally! What did you end up doing?

I came to post your screnshots with the DNS servers pointing to google, but the ping resolving to the old IP address, to see if any of the windows people have an idea, but appears there's no need for it.

it had on system32 . etc - host files. i deleted all of them and after that it start to work.
thank you all.
