    I'm having problems accessing the site too. I am able to get in through dcshooters.com but its balky this way too. Cannot even get in through the mdshooters.com address. Any suggestions?

    I'm getting through just fine, maybe its a DNS issue? Do you know to change your DNS servers? Point it to one of googles and see if that works. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

    I reset my DNS and redirected it to Comodo's DNS and then Google's DNS. Neither worked. I've altered my host file to include the new IP. That didn't work. Nonetheless, the site works on my office comp so its either my ISP or my computer. I'll fix it when I get home tonight.

    This morning around 8am I was having an issue on my home PC under Windows Explorer 8....s...l...o...w...l...o...a...d...i...n...g.

    However, while watching the slow page load on my PC, I pulled out my Droid using the default Browser and Mdshooters.com came right up.

    Dunno....

    Can't access it from my laptop over wifi, but hardline connection works...

    Going to 199.193.247.9 from the laptop not working either. Traceroute dies in Kansas City more often than not.

    I :heart: Comcast...

    Haven't had a single issue, not on my Mac mini (hardwired), MacBook (wifi) or iPhone (wifi). On FiOS, if that matters...

    Ok, I am stupid with computers. I am unsure/unable to change the DNS. Not sure if I am even looking in the right place. MDS will load very slow but will not let me sign in. Keeps timing out.
    Right now I am resisting the urge to smash the computer.

    open a command prompt window ([start] button, type in "cmd" on the run line) on Microsoft
    type in ping -a www.mdshooters.com

    If you see anything besides [199.193.247.9] www.mdshooters.com

    You will need to change one of the following:
    1. host file
    2. DNS server​

    I had to delete an old "hosts" file that was preventing me from making changes to my setup. Once I made those changes, everything worked dandy. It was def the IP address.

    FYI I'm on FIOS

    open a windows explorer, the hosts file is normal located in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder

    open the "hosts" file with notepad, either delete the mdshooters line, or comment it with a pound sign ("#"), save the file
