Marton mills website?

**Erisianmonkey** · 30th June 09, 07:28 PM

Is anyone else having trouble getting into the MM website? I can get the splash page at martonmills.co.uk to come up, but martonmills.com gives me the old address not found. And as the former is merely a pointer to the latter, it means their site is completely kaput for me.

Dagnab it! I wanted to go there for drooling purposes.

http://www.martonmills.com/ works for me, perhaps you should re boot or something.

Well, I tried rebooting. No dice. Thanks for the idea and letting me know it's something fishy on my end instead of theirs Glen. I find this very odd. I can go anywhere else on the net with no problems that I've seen, but not MM's website.

I mean, if I was having trouble with a range of websites, I could understand, but just the one?

The site works fine on my Linux/Firefox machines, and O.K. in my XP/Firefox machine. It would not work on VISTA/I.E. (a neighbours machine) at all.

I can confirm that it isn't a browser problem, as I have tried FF (my usual browser), IE, and Opera. I have even tried pinging www.martonmills.com. None of it works. Curiouser and curiouser.

Okay, I've dived into this a little bit, and it seems like something snafu-y going on between their web designers/hosters and the dns servers. some error seems to have been propagated into one flavor of dns server but not others. I've seen similar things happen before. It should actually work itself out within the week. What threw me was that the .co.uk address still gave me their intro page that points to the .com site. But having looked at the WHOIS info, that's because one site is registered directly through BT, while the main .com site is registered through their web designers. While the designers' site is working for me, I can't ping their nameserver, which means that the error is transient and likely to be corrected whenever my ISP gets off their butts and renews their DNS info (which, if they were responsible would happen daily). Or I could be blowing smoke up everyone's kilts and there's actually a problem that their hosting company needs to fix- but given that some of us can get onto the site and not others, I'd say it's much more likely that it's an error in local ISP's DNS servers.
