is something wrong with my pc / internet connection or is the dpp website always down? i always can't seem to connect to this site when i want to visit it. its been months since i last dropped by due to this problem. may multo po ba sa site na to. o tinatago lang ng webmaster dahil trip lang nya?(peace bossing ... joke lang po!!!) eniweys, im glad na nakakaconnect na ko ulit dito. kahit na yung camera ko point and shoot na lang (temporarily!):Grin:

I have been experiencing this occassionally with Smart bro connections. If your browser can access other sites but not DPP try setting your DNS servers to the following:

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

The above listed DNS numbers are provided by OpenDNS. There seems to be a problem with the name lookup from time to time.

I tried the DNS settings but to no avail. Other work arounds?

First of all, English only please.

Second, Smart connection is pretty screwed up, several friends of mine couldn't get into websites they frequent (not just DPP) but works if they go through a proxy like proxify.com, hidemyass.com, or any other cloaking portals.

hi mike!

er...i was kinda surprised to see ur topic in filipibno..next time, in english or you may get repirmamnded by the mods...

anyhoo, i've experienced the same problem when i used my cousin's pc which was on smart bro...but when i used my pc which was on cable connection, DPP showed up..

the only work around so far is to go through proxies...like page wash...

I had the same problem before using smartbro!

Go to www.opendns.com (http://www.opendns.com) and should resolve your issue! Give it a shot.


Cheers!

I've been using opendns for quite some time and I was able to access the site until a week ago. Any thoughts? TIA!

here's the difference from my end.

Sa office. its www.digitalphotographer.com.ph
sa bahay its http://digitalphotographer.com.ph

I just figured it out last night, but it still boggles me

here's the difference from my end.

Sa office. its www.digitalphotographer.com.ph (http://www.digitalphotographer.com.ph)
sa bahay its http://digitalphotographer.com.ph



They're the same. Your browser can resolve the site with or without www and/or http://.

The complete URL should be http://www.digitalphotographer.com.ph (http://digitalphotographer.com.ph/forum/../)

im having the same problem... im getting intermittent connection to dpp at home and in the office :(

It seem to be DNS related, hence provider dependent. I can't access the site from home using direct connection (using Globe wireless), but can access it once i do VPN (virtual private network) to my office network. I am still experimenting on different DNS values (if this is truly the issue).

I reported to Nino my findings.

While the server can be reached (via Ping) and the DNS entries seems to be ok, when I connect via the server's IP, I get the Apache web server home page instead. Not the forum.

i do get DNS error often. and redirected me to google.

Each time I cannot access DPP, I would usually open it in www.pagewash.com and begin browsing DPP again. :)

im having the same problem just today =( im using proxy.org

I go to www.youhide.com. A proxy server. They can access the site. Just type in the url.

I was having the same problem until Daphne Oliveros told me of a solution ---www.pagewash.com (http://www.pagewash.com) it works!

Why do we need to use proxy servers or opendns just to access the site?

most websites do not have this problem, any response from the admin?

just asking:)

im using smart bro...
when i use the www. for the address, it wont work..so..
i used only the http://digitalphotographer.com.ph it worked...:)
and till now i dont experience any probs connecting already...

might be OT, but related nonetheless...

i purchased a domain name for my business from doteasy.com.

the address is configured so that one can access it by typing either http://www.pixelworks-ph.com or simply http://pixelworks-ph.com

i'm accessing DPP w/out the triple W's, and i'm using PLDT's DSL plan.

HTH

x's sorry if it looks like a plug

thanks to everyone who replied to my query! i really really appreciate it! first of all, my apologies to the moderators for not having used english as the official forum language here. and second, to everyone who replied ... thank you so much. i think the use of pagewash and similar web sites now allow me to view dpp on my mobile. my wife was beginning to charge me a per/hour rate for using her laptop. (just in case your wondering ... i can view this site using her laptop and sluggish gprs connection ... but not with my gear!) she has pldt/smart and i use globe. anyway ... thanks for all the replies. i really really appreciate it! maraming salamat!!!

I was amazed it wasn't painful, and there was no blood, which I expected after my previous problems. I had the most intense orgasm, and so did he. He said sex videos (http://www.love-sex-videos.com) "you've never made a noise like that before"! In fact, I think I'm a lot more keen on it than he is!

I have an e-Mac and a Powerbook. My e-Mac occasionally cannot the site but when I turn to my Powerbook it's 100% accessibility. My PB uses Tiger and the e-Mac is on Panther. Now, is this a software or a hardware issue? I don't know but it is irritating at times. I have to open my PB just to log-in to DPP. BTW. I use Destiny cable internet.

I had the same problem before using smartbro!

i tried this and it worked :Grin:

i used to connect using pagewash but the only problem is when i want to post in any thread it gives me error message...too bad :(

Im suprise... :D to access dpp or other websites back home you will need a proxy sites... LoL!
I guess the DNS settings must be changes... or consult your internet provider...

I thought we only here from Abroad are using proxy sites liked www.stealth-ip.us (http://www.stealth-ip.us) to access blocksites.

Peace!
:D:D:D

NEED HELP ON THIS! ive been having a really hard time accessing the site for about 3 weeks now, i really dont know if its my isp or DPP? any help on this matter? ive been using proxy site now (hidemyass.com) to access DPP but i cant post some of the pictures that i want to share here. please..please..help me out on this. t.i.a :(

I've changed my setting (for a week now) to OpenDNS but I still have problem accessing DPP in a 'norma'l way. It seems that my IP address has been blacklisted by this site for the reason I don't know. I have no 'normal' access to DPP 2 months now :( I contacted Nino Pasamonte twice already, one time to Nick Tuason and just a few minutes ago I sent PM to Nino Carandang. It seems that my email to Nino Pasamonte didn't reach him, the same thing happened to my PM to Nick. I hope my PM to Nino Carandang will reach him. Curently, I can only access DDP thru a proxy site hidemyass.com or other similar proxy sites. I can post in the threads and start a new one but could not post the images because it seems the message icons including the images posting icon are disabled. below is my email/PM to the two Ninos and to Nick: Hi Nino, I'm sending this email to ask for your help. I'm a DPP member (user name Nat Pagayonan) and had problem browsing the DPP site using my home broadband for almost 2 months now. I thought that DPP had a problem but I'm no sure what really is the problem. I used to acess DPP using by O2 broadband (BE Unlimited) without any problem. I'm based here in UK and my IP address is 93.96.228.83. I even contacted my ISP if they banned me from accessing DPP site but they said that the problem is not with them but on the site itself (DPP). So can you tell me what's the problem why I can't access DPP at home using my O2 (BE Unlimited) Broadband? I can access DPP site using the proxy server like hidemyass (http://www.hidemyass.com) but it won't allow me to log-in, thus preventing me to participate and post in the forum. I also thought that there was a problem with my laptop setting, but there's not because I took my office laptop at home and tries accessing DPP but I can't. The same with my pocket PC, three of them can't access DPP. My ISP customer service agent told me to reset my internet router but the problem still exist. I also thought that the problem was on the browser but I tried tried using Windows Internet Explorer (my default is Firefox), Google Chrome and Opera and the problem is still there. So I really think that DPP server may have prevented me to even browse DPP site. So could you please help me fix this problem. Thanks. Cheers! Nat

Same here. I can't access DPP at home for about 3 months now unless I use Pagewash. :( Good thing the net here at the office allows me to visit the forum "normally". :|

I am having the same problem visiting DPP website, it is always 404 error, I am using Destiny Cable.

As what Tantin recommended on the first page of this thread, just type in http://digitalphotographer.com.ph (no www). Try it!!

opendns is the usual answer.:) try http://www.opendns.com and follow the instruction. :D

Lately I've been using DNS Advantage instead of Open DNS:

DNS Advantage
156.154.70.1
156.154.71.1

http://www.dnsadvantage.com/index.html

As what Tantin recommended on the first page of this thread, just type in http://digitalphotographer.com.ph (no www). Try it!!

it doesn't work at all. the strange thing is...i can now log-in to DPP without using any proxy site but using only my PDA with Opera mobile browser...so browsing is still not 'normal' because the screen is only 2.8" and has 320x240 pixels. If use the standard Opera browser in my laptop, I can't view any DPP page. :(

good thing the www.hidemyass.com is there to help. I go to this website and access DPP from their surf tab

using the website just give me pop up ad

2 days ago i can still access dpp normally without using dns or proxies. but suddenly i can't access the site. i tried opendns and other similar methods but to no avail. now i'm using a proxy server and it annoys me with pop ups everytime i click a link. is there no way to fix this? considering that ive accessed DPP normally since i signed up. but suddenly this happens. kinda weird.

same problem here... for a while I thought I got banned from DPP..hehe.. Now I have to use hidemyass.com before getting in to DPP...

ok, this is weird. after being unable to browse DPP normally for a few days, i get to do it now. i remember updating my Java software before trying to browse again. Could this be a solution? does having the latest Java software solve the issue?

Anyway, im thankful though that i can browse normaly now!

this also happen to me sometimes. there maybe a re-routing problem with the ISP.
i try to browser using IE7, Firefox3, Opera9 and Safari and its the same - cant access DPP.
i just wait for several minutes and can access again.

No its got nothing to do with updated java software.

i think the problem is on the internet provider (base from experience). i have stayed in province for the last three weeks, we have to internet provider back in the rpovince, digitel and smart bro. our pc is connected to digitel dsl and i can't access dpp connecting through digitel and i tried it also with my friend's computer which is also connected to digitel but still i can't access dpp. then i tried accesing dpp through my sister's laptop (smart bro connected), it's a success, dpp works!

i think its on your internet provider, base from my experience. :Grin:

How can I change my DNS Server? (#12703)

To set your DNS, you need to find the Internet Protocol window.

For Users on a Dial-up Connection:

Go to My Computer>Dialup Networking.
Right-click your internet connection and select Properties.
A window will open - click the Server Types tab. Click TCP/IP Settings.

For All Other Users:

Go to Control Panel>Network Connections and select your local network.
Click Properties, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Click Properties.
You will see a window like the one below - this is the Internet Protocol window. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the desired DNS server(s) in the space(s) provided.

You have now changed your DNS settings. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window to close that window, then click the OK button at the bottom of the next window. If you are asked if you want to Restart your computer, click Yes. You are now finished.

after my IPS changed my dynamic IP, i can now browse and post normally here in DPP.

is something wrong with my pc / internet connection or is the dpp website always down? i always can't seem to connect to this site when i want to visit it. its been months since i last dropped by due to this problem. may multo po ba sa site na to. o tinatago lang ng webmaster dahil trip lang nya?(peace bossing ... joke lang po!!!) eniweys, im glad na nakakaconnect na ko ulit dito. kahit na yung camera ko point and shoot na lang (temporarily!):Grin:

I've been experiencing the same thing lately but what i do is i click on the forum and log on from that page and it goes through. Yeah i think its the DNS as some have suggested but i've made the changes na but still experience it from time to time.

Admins, (this thread is a bit old but I believe its more appropriate to ask here) Is Dpp having server problems or is it just me? :D Cause lately I'm having trouble accessing the site or is often slow.

I hate those pop ups! I use vtunnel.
