Can't access this site

For some reason my laptop won't connect to this website anymore. I can still use my iPod to get to it, and my computer connects to other sites just fine.

It always tells me the connection timed out for here though.

Are you using www.christianfurs.net?

I was...for some reason when I use that url it times out, but I figured out that if I just type in http://christianfurs.net/index.php it seems to work just fine :s

Because I don't have the DNS entries in place for www.christianfurs.net, because www. is pointless and should never be used for anything ever.

I think my browser is just automatically putting in the 'www' whenever I hit enter :dodgy:

/me has a few cases where the www. ends up being preferred and necessary as the default for technical reasons.

 

Namely, @ can't resolve CNAMES. Which sucks.

Internet Explorer?

Huuuuh.

 

I never knew domain names could work like that, what with WWW or not, not showing up in DNSs.

The server treats www. and non-www. as separate websites by default... it's just how it works. Our server runs management software that I /think/ handles it properly. I'll add the entries in the DNS to fix it though

I have seen that before, where a URL won't have www in it and you type it anyway. I used to type it automatically without thinking about it and there were a few pages that wouldn't come up. I've since dropped the habit.
