    Can't you track it down then report them to the web host Or someone? Doesn't that fall under the piratcy law?

    The most I can do is report the bastard to Internic. This is really upto Scott should he choose to sue. I'd tell him myself, but I don't have his e-mail address anymore. Jack or anyone else, please drop him an e-mail immediately.

    Vert... I think you are jumping to assumptions about a theft... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    Scott had a mix up with the domain name yes, and had paid for the new year. Someone frelled up for sure, but I think it's a case of the domain is currently just linked to "somewhere" while they straighten it out. It looks to be the home portal for the place he is working through for domain name registration.

    Lately it takes weeks for a changes in DNS to propagate around the globe and be updated fully. Had this lousy experience when my local ISP changed their IP for their new server, and the DNS took two weeks to get fully updated.

    Internet is getting too big man!

    Let's hope, JackN. It's already been over 2 weeks of problems with B5MG's DNS entry.

    Anyone know it's IP?
  • PJHPJH The Lovely Thing
    Good to hear. I also thought that the KingstonFX domain was stolen. Those others domains (B5MG and Beyond Babylon) only redirect to kingstonFX, so they are safe anyway. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Speaking of which Jack, you haven't heard from Scott since all this happened have you?

    And Speaking onf the "Page Holder" that paticular one I've seen on other domains that have been stolen....but we will see...I sure hope its not a case of CyberSquating but...

    Jack...when was the last time you fired up the old ICQ...was going to try and get ahold of you about the b5mg thing. Anyway...everyone have a good Xmas Holiday as I most likely won't be back here till after the Holidays...or at least the 25th. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Its the Teletubbies...... Its part of there plot to take us out, for the Teletubbie war.
  • IsoephIsoeph Trainee
    Its offical now...the kingstonfx.com domain has been squated, but the link below has the details, as well as you will be able to access the BB Forums from the [url="http://www.beyondbabylon.com"]www.beyondbabylon.com[/url] or [url="http://www.b5mg.com"]www.b5mg.com[/url] domains now.

    Jumping to conclusions eh Jack? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] I think I know a stolen domain when I see it.

    I think it's stolen also - I've seen that particular page before on other stolen URLs.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Isoeph has a more specific link above but here is the link that Scott gave me in ICQ to get there.

    Yes I am using that form of uni bookmarck system. Dam things!

    They sometimes stay byt since I am gaurenteed to use a different computer each time I log onto the network....

    As to writing it down, I would but I leave all used paper at home and only take in what I need. Assingments, course handbooks, plain pager [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    It's simpler & lighter! They give me a tree of paper each week in some subjects.....
  • EternityEternity Elite Ranger
    Something else intresting....

    If I use the computing room computers and type in [url="http://www.beyondbabylon.com"]www.beyondbabylon.com[/url] a blank page comes up. However if I go to the 5th floor met computers and type that in I get to BeyondBabylon.

    Most intresting. Anybody know why this might be?

    DNS propigation...one of them is still using the "old" DNS entry, so it still routes to the "old" IP address.
  • EternityEternity Elite Ranger
    DNS propigation..... What be that - in layman's terms! [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    Anyways I can't use the homepage URL in the other campas computer room too.

    Theoretically they are different networks but you can never tell in the institute.

    So memorize it you lazy ass. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img]

    Seriously though, DNS propogation works like this:

    Server changes IP
    Admin updates domain so that users will be pointed to the new IP address.
    Internic sends the updated information to ISPs around the world. (This usually takes two to three days, depending on your ISP)
    ISP then translates this updated DNS info and points the user to the correct IP address.

    His problem is likely his ISP updating their DNS server properly...
