mentalvmaxrider,

I can reach the microsquirt pages. It might be that your ISP is timing out beause of the TLD (top level domain) issues between the nameserver and site.

Try these links:

http://www.microsquirt.info/index.htm

http://www.microsquirt.info/indexright.htm

If they don't work we can have a look at the DNS setup.

In the meantime, I have put all the microsquirt site pages and illustrations in a zip file (3.6MBytes) here: http://www.megamanual.com/microsquirt.info.zip, so you can read them 'off-line'.

Hey Lance.Thanks for the zip file.The links still didn't work,but they used to.Anyways,You've been a big help so far and I appreciate that.

Lance,
I regularly use two different ISP's and more often than not, I can't access microsquirt.info or megasquirt.info on either, is there anything I can do about that on my end?

Mk1rocco,

There's not a lot you can do on your end. The issue is that the domain has a top level domain (TLD) of .info, while the nameserver is .com. The result is that is takes an extra step or two to look up the nameserver records, and this is sometimes enough to have the hosting ISP time out and give up.

This is why the manual was moved from megasquirt.info to megamanual.com, btw.

From your end, all you can do is request the pages more often (then hopefully your ISP will cache the DNS records, if not the web pages themselves), or write your ISP and explain the problem (they might loosen the time-out - but I doubt it!)

I will look at mirroring the microsquirt.info site shortly, and post a alternative link here.

Lance.

Guys,

There is now a mirror of the microsquirt.info site at: http://www.microsquirt.com/info/index.htm

Let me know if that doesn't work better.

Lance.

Thanks Lance.

My ISPs DNS also is often unable to resolve microsquirt.info I am in the USA and use Sprint's Mobile Broadband (EVDO) service.

This unreliable behavior reflects poorly on the otherwise great MicrosSquirt project. Any chance of a fix for the DNS?

Thanks for your help.

Chuck,

The problem isn't the DNS at our end, which is set up properly, etc. and there's not much more we can do. The problem is your ISP's time out. So you have to talk to them. There is a mirror, though, mentioned above, which should work for those that have problems.
