odd issue tonight

I was logged in and i got a crash , well since this odd disconnect I can't load any hb server , and google won't load either and nothing I have done is working

sounds like a DNS problem. this is not a client issue all tho if your DNS was having issues it could possibly cause the client to crash and unable to connect to HB server. because the client does use a Domain Redirect name to connect to server (this is so if ip ever changes it can be fixed/updated without a new client).

well in other words it is your ISP or DHCP server if you have it as a static DNS server.

with alot of the newer Web Browsers it will save the websites like hbprophecy.x90x.net and use its cached information making it seem like web domain names are working but your browser was just smart enough to save it.

you internet works but its does not sound like it is resolving Domain names to IP address. (main function of DNS)

I have no idea what caused it but it was an odd problem. It was like a domino effect. HB logged me out , google stopped working on firefox ( but would on IE ) , then IE would not work , then facebook stopped working , 2 days later all is fine and running ... very odd

if it happens again. go to your command prompt, do ipconfig / ping your gateway address and DNS address

if your gateway fails this means there is a problem between most likely you and your local router.

if your DNS fails then its your DNS and really there could be multiple reasons why this fails. DNS is usually provided by your ISP DHCP server.

if DNS fails i would try power cycle your router (Power it off then back online) - this will update your router with ISP DHCP (there is another way but this is easiest)

if it continues after a power cycle then another solution can be to statically assign it. -you could use the google DNS if yours is down IP: (8.8.8..

but if you lose internet completely after restarting your router then ISP is having issues with there DHCP server. (DHCP provides you with a working IP address for their network - and other useful information like (Gateway), and (DNS))
