Issues with servers?

I can ping Audio3 but it won't accept connection.

Yes Ping does work but all feed are using http on port 80 and the web server is down.

audio3 was locked up at about 3am, and I didn't get the notification until I rolled out of bed this morning.

All should be well now. Thanks for your patience.

Looks like it's back for me at least, as of 15 minutes ago on audio3.

Yup it is up

I'm sure this is just a temporary issue but one of my feeds just went down and here's the error I'm getting. Posting this here in case other people run into the same issue and wonder what's going on. My feeds on audio1 and audio9 appear to be just fine.

I'm not a Broadcastify provider nor user, but I was having connection problems a little last week and a lot this last weekend. I could not access some websites that I normally have no problem with. I kept running troubleshooting guides and this finally popped up: Fix DNS Problem. A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (XXX.XXX.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.

Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter (without the quotations)). For details choose your operating system.

I did this and it was like magic. So far, I haven't had any more website loading problems. I also had to perform this on my laptop and my wife's laptop. Worked there, too.

I do not know if it will work on voice providers, YMMV. I thought it was interesting that Broadcastify was having basically the same problems - not able to connect to some websites.
