DNS Expiration caused tech issues

(1/2) > >>

Hi folks,

Just a note that the DNS expiring went unnoticed and temporarily has made connections an issue.  We hope they should all be sorted out within 24 hours.

Cheers,
James

Indeed this would be why the forum was a ghost town, connections to any of Layonara's servers (forum, IRC, NWN) would have been potentially interrupted.

What is DNS?

Aphel:
DNS, acronym for: Domain Name System

--- Quote ---"The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide."
