SeriouslyFish down?

Edvet, are you on a windows system?

If so, open up a command prompt then type "nslookup" and hit Enter.

It should come back and tell you which DNS Server you are using, eg:

Default Server: MyDNSServer.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

It will then give you a > prompt as you are now querying the DNS Server, so type in:

"www.seriouslyfish.com" and hit Enter

It should come back and say something like:

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.seriouslyfish.com
Address: 188.165.235.17

If it does not, then your DNS is not resolving the name. That would tell you if you had a DNS problem again.
 
I have the same problem with seriouslyfish. I already thought about it being the DNS servers and I changed mine in the TCP v4 settings from my internet provider default ones to the free Open DNS and also Google free DNS servers and neither loads seriouslyfish website after setup. I get "page cannot be displayed" Clearing cache, different browsers and also my second computer hooked to the same internet is not displaying it.
 
If you follow my instructions above, then that will tell you if it is DNS or not. It is unlikely to be DNS if you are using Google, as you can see from an nslookup against the Google servers, their DNS resolves:

> www.seriouslyfish.com 8.8.8.8
Server: [8.8.8.8]
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.seriouslyfish.com
Address: 188.165.235.17

You could try doing a tracert from the command line and seeing where you connection fails, like so (with my personal details removed):

C:\Users\Username>tracert www.seriouslyfish.com

Tracing route to www.seriouslyfish.com [188.165.235.17]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Yes, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are the ones I have setup at the moment.
tracert www.seriouslyfish.com works, no time outs, yet I still get "page cannot be displayed" on both computers when I enter the website in the address bar or just simply load it via google. The Forum part of it works though but none of the fish profiles work.
It doesn't work even if I enter the ip address of seriouslyfish (188.165.235.17) into the address bar.
It couldn't be a DNS problem if 6 different servers(groups of 2 each) are failing it. I don't think its anything to do with my computers either because both are not displaying the website but they both have Windows 7 64 bit, I guess same updates, and are hooked to the same router. But besides DNS I am not sure what else.

Question, can you guys load this for example which I was able to load in the past

I'm guessing you are using Internet Explorer? I just tried in IE and get the same fault, works fine for me in Firefox. I suggest trying Firefox, way better browser than Internet Explorer anyway.
 
Here is what I get doing tracert in command prompt:

And this is when I load the page in IE:

There may well be ways you can get it working in IE, you could try using the "No Add Ons" mode to start up without plugins etc in case something is causing an issue with that site. If that works you then have to start disabling add ons one at a time to work out which one is the problem. You can also try viewing the page in "Compatibility Mode", that sometimes fixes issues. You could also do a full reset of IE back to defaults, but that will screw with all the things you may have configured so would really be a last resort.

Alternatively, delete Internet Explorer and stick with Chrome or Firefox for everything, much easier solution :)
 
I just tried No Add-Ons-doesn't work. I tried resetting IE, doesn't work. I deleted all history, passwords, etc...., not working. As I said, this is on both computers when using IE. Everything else works just this freaking website.
I like IE. I am odd :) I hate Firefox and Chrome, they drive me nuts.

Edit: I also tried adding it to the trusted zone after setting it on low and still not working.
My guess is just some Microsoft update spoiling it recently.
 
Just read this, thx for the input guys. Indeed it works if i use FF.
I have done the sane update, and as far as i can remember the problem could have started in that timeframe.
I kinda use FF for the workside (my workprogram is in the cloud) and i use IE for the rest, probably better to start to use FF only ( can't seem get used to Chrome).
