It forces it so when you go to filesharingtalk.com to go the sites server even if the DNS isnt routing properly yet...
Thank you for explanation.
so if everyone had implemented this tweak, fst would have been "normal"?
That 'trick' won't work once the server's IP changes though.
Although I have no idea if it does.
Is the server not on a static IP? if not, Reality please send me new ip via MSN (again.... :whistling)Quote:

Thanks for tip on MSN :) Just sharing it around. <3
I had the same problem.
Rather than use a proxy or force the address in the hosts file, I changed my DNS server from the default provided by my ISP to one of the tier 2 OpenNIC servers.
http://www.opennic.unrated.net/public_servers.html
From what I can tell, these seem to be updated much sooner than ISPs' private servers. In my case, the responses seem to be much faster too.
One other advantage I just though about - unless it is actively monitoring packet contents, your ISP doesn't see or log your DNS requests.
u scared me there i thought u were force to shut down heh
It's nice to be back :) Can't live without this site :P
me too:DQuote:
