Traf Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I know it should be on another part of the site, but it's quite urgent and I don't have the time to wait for a response elsewhere. Should be easier for someone with more tech knowledge than I have. A website that I use every day for work has recently migrated servers (whatever?), but I can't get my PC to see the new version of the site, but my laptop can. How do I get my PC to see the new site? I've cleared cookies and cache, rebooted my router, flushed my dns, turned it off and on again, tried different browsers etc all to no avail. Please help, it's driving me mad and it's stopping me from working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted June 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2020 Can you go in using the IP address? Do an nslookup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted June 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2020 Google nslookup website Like this for bbc https://who.is/dns/bbc.co.uk you can see a (IPv4) address 212.58.237.252 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had this issue with the new version of websites dripping out it was basically because the servers had not updated the site.

Check your hosts file for a static ip address Edit - just seen you fixed it - at least I was right Edited June 26, 2020 by Gonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
