Problems connecting to AW on home computer

clintl · May 21, 2013

Suddenly the last two days, my home internet connection has been unable to find and connect to AW. It doesn't matter whether I use my bookmarks or Google - I get the same result. At work, I'm able to connect just fine. As far as I can tell, AW is the only web site affected. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

There have been DNS changes I believe. Clearing your browser cache ought to sort it.

OK, thanks. I'll try that when I get home this afternoon.

clint, if your local and ISP DNS record caches haven't yet resolved by the time you get home, you can access AW's mirror site at (dot) net rather than (dot) com. They're identical and your password remains the same.

There's an explanation of what's causing your problems here.

1. Clear your Browser History and Browser cache; do NOT clear your cookies.

Restart your computer.

In the meantime, you can use all your bookmarks etc by changing the .com to .net.

It's the same site.
