Avlis up... DNS... in progress

Looks like our so-called "static" ip wasn't so "static"

IP is now: 68.193.148.56

DNS and interserver portals have been updated. As mentioned elsewhere, DNS can take up to 48 hours to propogate to all ISP's so either use the above address or GameSpy.

Thankyou for all your work and effort that goes into keeping these servers trouble free.

Yes, it just takes many ISP's up to 48 hours to refresh their DNS. Verizon had the new entry 10 min. (possibly earlier) after I made the change.

Almost instantaneous DNS propagation time

Call it a best effort. If your ISP doesn't honor the TTL, you won't see it until your ISP feels like updating.

Traditional ISP's and Telco DSL companies are usually good about that. Their focus is business users so their stuff usually just works.

Cable ISP's, which have a consumer (low-margin) focus, are bad about this. Optimum Online is notably bad in this respect.

Ah, ok... I got it.

So, it looks like the servers have changed IP's again, which means DNS is not pointing to the IP they are currently on.

67.82.237.177 is what I am seeing in the PW Story list for server details.

Same for me... Guess 67.82.237.177 is the address to use this evening

No I'm on Elysia

And Pugdush is on Deglos.

Heh. IP Freely.

I was on Elysia when I think it switched. Crashed out on my side, then couldn't seem to get back in. Tried the Gamespy login (versus direct connect shortcuts) and couldn't connect. Checked the boards.

Copied and pasted the "new" IP into my shortcuts, and logged right back on to find the remains of something I had killed.

Man, I was in Deglos, in the middle of being transitioned from death area to my DP, when the IP changed... was just opening avlis.org to post a restore request

when it turned out it was not actualy a crash
