The workaround that I’ve provided to one of my friends is to just modify their windows hosts file to fix this. Here are the steps:
1) Find the current IP for shocknetwork.dyndns.org by going to:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch … org&type=A
On the page, you’ll see something like:
shocknetwork.dyndns.org. A IN 60 68.183.64.29
The number there (68.183.64.29) is the current IP address.
2) Open the hosts file by running:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
or
notepad c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
At the beginning of the file, it should say something like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
3) At the bottom of the file, add the line:
68.183.64.29 wilma http://www.shocknetwork.com images.shocknetwork.com chunli.shocknetwork.com shocknetwork.com shocknetwork.dyndns.org
The number there (68.183.64.29) if the number is different from what’s on the page.
That’s it.]]>
