I think http://72.29.91.222 was the last IP address used.

Based on the information everyone has posted, it sounds very much like a DNS issue. However, without the current IP address it's hard to verify.

Can HCS verify that the FSGuide data files are still safe and sound on their servers? And if they can give us the IP and server path to the files, we can at least make sure that the information is there and accessible from outside. If all the links are relative then the system might even function correctly with just an IP that could be posted here.

Interestingly, neither of the DNS servers listed by McBush seem to know anything about FS:

> server NS59.1AND1.CO.UK
Default Server:  NS59.1AND1.CO.UK
Address:  195.20.224.84

>
> fallensword.com
Server:  NS59.1AND1.CO.UK
Address:  195.20.224.84

*** NS59.1AND1.CO.UK can't find fallensword.com: Server failed
>
> fallenswordguide.com
Server:  NS59.1AND1.CO.UK
Address:  195.20.224.84

*** NS59.1AND1.CO.UK can't find fallenswordguide.com: Server failed
>
> server NS60.1AND1.CO.UK
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find address for server NS60.1AND1.CO.UK: Timed out

And I should say, I FAR prefer the FSG to the FSW, due to mouseover popups and similar goodies (Not to mention that there's stuff missing for my level LOL!). That guide might not be perfect but it's pretty darn close!

so, from what i understand the problem is in HCS and it isn't in the same time. can the problem come from an unplugged cable? something like this. i am not a cable guy either, or an internet/dns/servers geek either, if i know where to plug my cable in my PC i am a genius, but enough about me. maybe the problem is behind the server, and when i say behind, i mean where the cables are, or maybe someone wetted with coffe teh cables. if so, it is forbiden to drink coffe where you work ;)

HAHA! Yeah, the statistics on coffee-caused computer illnesses are quite scary!

I think it's unlikely that the problem is a cable, since Andrea/Hoof have said that the files are still on the servers. That implies that the servers are up and running correctly, since otherwise they would not be able to verify this, regardless of exactly where the files are located. IF the FSG is hosted on the same servers as FS, then the fact that we cannot access the domain name fallenswordguide.com but ~can~ access fallensword.com implies the DNS issue. One is resolved while the other is not. But without the IP addresses for the servers, it is not possible to test accessiblity, do traceroutes and such. However, I am very curious to know if they are hosted on the same servers..... The implication of McBush's post is that the hosting is not the same as for fallensword.

The 'Guide' is on the same server as the images for Fallen Sword. I gave the IP address earlier.

http://72.29.91.222/

This IP address is what we entered when we had to correct the issue of the images not showing up, last time.
Then when Hoof fixed it we just started entering things with: /images/ [IMAGE FILE]

So your right.

Well, now I'm concerned. Unless they have some form of masking in place that absolutely prohibits direct IP access, I am getting 404 page not found errors when I substitute the IP for the domain name.

http://72.29.91.222/...ealm=842&type=0
http://72.29.91.222/realms/map.php
http://72.29.91.222/...ail.php?id=1280

Is it in a sub-directory by chance? /fsg/ or /fallenswordguide/? btw neither worked when I tried them.....

I don't know if this helps but you can still find creature stats from the fsguide on google cache

examples
http://www.google.ca... ... d96d67bda7

level 707 Ossrilan Demon
http://74.125.93.132... ... clnk&gl=ca

Sadly, FSwiki only goes up to level 602

It's not an unplugged cable.

First thing I did was check the domain registration, as someone else has already posted, and saw it is good for another month or so.

However...

; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> @localhost fallenswordguide.com A
 ; (2 servers found)
 ;; global options:  printcmd
 ;; Got answer:
 ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 22180
 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
 
 ;; QUESTION SECTION:
 ;fallenswordguide.com.		IN	A
 
 ;; Query time: 40 msec

No A record. This means a DNS issue. The domain name is not associated with an IP, so we can't resolve it. If the guide is being hosted on the same IP as the fallensword.com images, this is why entering only the IP in your browser does not produce the site. When multiple web sites are hosted on the same IP, you can't just put the IP in the address bar and hit a site, because the server needs other instructions in order to return a web site to you. The domain's A records need to be fixed.



Edit:

AHHH! That does make sense, I forgot about the load-balancing blah blah... BUT that is not an automatically updated entry... so someone screwed about with the DNS table..... phooy on them... wish I knew who so I could take them out back and kick their shins!

But at least this tells us and more importantly HCS what the problem is. Hopefully now someone can fix the bloody thing and we can all snuggle back up to our honey LOL! SO many of us have such a dependency on that stuff!

Some time ago, I started my own tool to search items, it is still available, although it isn't so up to date it can be useful for someone. the link is http://redeagles.game-host.org/fs3/

Hope it helps in some way.

One of the most useful tools I used was using the fallen sword places link which brings up all the maps and how all the various realms are interconnected and then I could just click on one of them and it would take me to the FS Guide section all about that realm. It was probably the tool I used the most. Isn't there some way to get the FS Guide back? And if not, what about getting the FS Places site linked to the wiki then? Is this possible? I know would be a lot of work.
