One of our domain name expired recently and reactivated the following
day. Is it true that it will take 48 hours for it to propagate before
the website can be access again ?

The primary DNS is hosted internally. I have no porblem to ping the
website but not by name. My question is : do I require to flush the dns
server for it refresh ?

Any advise would be greatly appreciate.

recently I change mine and it tooked about one day to verify that the web
site was in use by customers.

Are you using a Public DNS server or a ISP DNS Server?
if you internally can't ping the website by name you should check if it's
poing to the correct IPAddress, or you can flush it.

It could take up to 48 hours depending on when a server last refreshed the
NS records for your domain.

You don't have to do anything, it may not take that long, it all depends on
the TTL of your NS records and what servers still have them in cache. It is
possible that for some people to have never noticed that domain name
expired. If the DNS server they use had your NS records in cache.

As everyone implied, patience, grasshopper. Have to wait for it to
propogate. Usual time is 24 to 48 hours. We usually make changes on a Friday
afternoon so the changes are propogated by Monday morning.

btw - can you tell us what the domain name is so we can see if it is working
from our end for you?

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.

Hi,

Yes, internally (local area network) we can access the corporate
website wither by IP address or URL. Externally we are not able to
access either IP or url.

when did a tracert and it show firewall not responding.

I am confused here because before the domain name expired, we have no
problem accessing from externally, now that it had expired and
reactivated, shouldn't it back to normal as it is ? do we have to
reconfigure firewall or dns server ??


Thanks.

does your router/firewall has the correct (the new) IPAddress for the
website? did you check the public interface?

Some questions:

1. Are you hosting the website internally or externally?

2. Does your insternal DNS server host the external zone name, or just the
internal AD name, or both?

3. Can you provide us the domain name please to better and more accurately
assist?

Thank you,
