Problems accessing gnome-look

[jonathanmotes]

I've had trouble getting gnomelook.org to load over the past couple of days (works sometimes, but frequently it doesn't). Is it just me or has anyone else had this issue?

Maybe it's because it is http://gnome-look.org/ (with a hyphen)?

Got to make sure of that!:popcorn:

I've tried adding the hyphen when I can't access it, and it still doesn't work (Also, I usually get forwarded to http://gnome-look.org when I type in gnomelook.org)......

Hmmm, it's generally reliable for me... but then I don't really visit it on daily basis. Maybe you could try using a different DNS server (like OpenDNS).

I'm actually using OpenDNS. I just recently started using their DNS servers, so at first I thought it was them, but I haven't had problems with any other websites. I think I also switched back to my ISP's DNS servers once, and still had the problem....

Another idea -- are you using an IP blocker like MoBlock, for example?

GNOME-Look is frequently down (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=685200) if I recall correctly.

I don't think so. I have been using OpenDNS's internet filtering though (running DDclient to keep my OpenDNS account updated with my current dynamic IP)....I guess it is possible there is something wrong with my DNS configuration - but it is weird that it works most of the time (It usually doesn't work during 5 minute intervals, which I seem to catch two or three times a day)....

Thanks everyone for the replies!
