Hello

I have a funny problem. All of the sudden last night my IKS failed.

Thought it was Fish so I switched to NFPS, no help there. So I tried an different computer in the house, but still the same "no connecting trouble"..

I'm wondering if my ISP but some sort of IKS block on my service. Is there any way to check if the DNS will pass thru my ISP?

I'm using NOI with Nfusion. is there a NOI config file somewhere on this computer? I have tried deleting and reinstalling NOI but every time I do, It still has the same old server info. I want to start fresh.

Thanks for your time...

If you know the IP address of the IKS server try doing a "Ping" of that address.

Go to a "Command" prompt, and type ping 123.456.789.000 (IP address of your server or DNS) and see what happens.

IF you can't get to a command prompt (or don't know how to get to one) try this site

Both of those servers were having issues this weekend.
