Hey guys, i've been having issues connecting to tomshardware, i believe it's caused by the dns.
I'm currently posting from my phone 3g connettion-so sorry about the spelling.
It started yesterday, wirh google's public dns.
After i changed dns to my isp's, the site worked. Now neither of those does. My mobile provider's still does.
If i go to downforeverybodyorjustme ut tells me that tom's is down.
Input welcome.

The Tom's domain is quite up and operational. It sounds like a problem on your end in terms of your DNS settings. I'd recommend reverting the changes you've made, or requesting assistance in the Networking/Wireless Networking categories for more in-depth technical assistance if needed.

I was initially using google's public dns then changed to my isp's. Intrernet is working fine, it's just tom's thats not connecting, it says "firefox can't find www.tomshardware etc .."

Had a minor issue with the DNS earlier this morning, but only for the .co.uk domain. It very well could have been causing the issue you were referring to. Glad to hear it's been resolved. :)

I always connect through tomshardware.co.uk , so yeah that was probably it.
Thanks for looking into the issue for me.
Have a nice day!
