Problem connecting to website

[SoulKeeper]

Ever since the website was down being switched to a different host I haven't been able to connect to Steamgamers.com, I'll get an error saying

he connection has timed out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The server at http://www.steam-gamers.net is taking too long to respond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.

 

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

 

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

 

Any way to fix this? According to Spartan it could be a DNS problem, and I have no idea how to fix those- I tried google and tried a few methods and none of them worked. I'm currently viewing the website through a proxxy, which oddly works. :

[Caution]

Could be an SQL problem too.

Helps to clear your DNS cache, IF that's the problem.

go to start then run then in the run window type cmd

 

you should get a dos window with a prompt. type this exactly

 

tracert http://www.steam-gamers.net

 

then where it times out you can see if its us you or some host in the middle.

soul you are bouncing into a german isp which does not have the right info, several other people with the same issue have the same traceroutes.

 

nothing we can do from our end until they get their act together.
