DNS problem for IMSLP-EU

Post by imslp-eu »

IMSLP-EU might not be reachable by some users at the moment. The server is up and running, however it seems that some DNS servers around the world have "forgotten" the server's IP address, so, when a broswer invokes imslp.eu or www.imsl.eu, the domain name is not correctly resolved into the corresponding IP address. We cannot do much to fix the problem, we can just wait that DNS information spread throughout the internet get stable again.

For skilled computer users a workaround exists: bypass any external DNSs and directly provide the IP address of IMSLP-EU to your computer. In order to do so, you have to edit the hosts file and add the following lines:

Code: Select all

188.121.59.128   imslp.eu
188.121.59.128   www.imslp.eu
The location of the hosts file is different on different systems. On Windows systems it is typically located under Windows/System32/drivers/etc . Please remember to delete or comment out such lines when normal DNSs operations are restored.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Multiple monitors around the world seem to confirm that the problem is now solved. It lasted about two hours.
