For some reason when I try to connect to this byond site or use the byond launcher, neither work. I have tried uninstalling, restarting the laptop, reinstalling it, that didn't work. I also tried changing my IP, but I couldn't seem to get that to work, so the only reason I even got connected to this site is by using a proxy. I still can't get the byond pager to connect to hub though, any ideas anyone? This site works on any other computer I try to use too, and this problem just started happening 1 or 2 days ago.

Your most likely culprit is a malfunctioning antivirus program, if you can connect from other computers in the same household. If not, it could be something upstream from your ISP.
|
Really? It sounds like something that might be out of my reach then. If I could somehow change my IP, maybe that would work? I might have been doing that wrong.
| |
If it's upstream from your ISP, I would try contacting them. Let them know that your attempts to reach byond.com have failed, and they can look into it.
| |
I tried doing a bunch of stuff with fixing the ISP with live help from the ISP, but I don't think I can do much with that right now. Does anyone have any other possible solutions? I tried getting rid of all the registry associated with byond, but that didn't work either.
| |
As a thought, try going to your command line and typing ipconfig /flushdns. It couldn't hurt anyway. It'd also be good to see what tracert says when you try to reach the site.
| |
I'd just try "tracert byond.com" and see what you get. Also ping, although I doubt ping will work if you can't reach the site at all.
| |
Your DNS info is way, way out of date; that's not our current IP address. Is it possible you have byond.com in your HOSTS file?
That's in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ETC\HOSTS. | |
There you go. Comment those out in the file, or erase those lines entirely, and you'll be good to go.
