The Google DNS servers can resolve it (and seem to be much faster than OpenDNS lately). Should be possible set up your machine to use alternative or additional DNS servers despite your network.

The instructions for Mac and the other OSs are here. Mac instructions are for 10.5 but 10.6 is the same and it works again.

This is an alternative to messing about with hosts files.



Thanks! Good alternative, didnt think of it.  :)

Ok, I am going to give out a trade secret, why not use the same server as Fotolia, which is 1and1.com. Very large company and very cheap rates. Check it out.

Hope it helps! :-)


Many thanks, simsi. Works a treat. :D

tks for the instructions as well, it works like a charm now, I am using PC and since  modifying the host file it has worked every time.

so glad someone wrote this. I was blaming our isp's DNS server playing up (as it does!)

if it's any use tyler: over the past couple of weeks i've been very reliably forwarded from microstockgroup.com to www.microstockgroup.com but often not able to resolve that.

putting a static IP for the site is all well and nice, but won't solve the cause of problem and I hope you all remember to get rid of that change to your hosts files a some point... for when we move again :/
