Its driving us crazy here too. Verizon has acknowledged the problem and is 
working with our ISP to resolve it for them. (Hopefully soon!)


I'll post here as soon as there is a resolution.

nice side effect is that elecraft.com is reached via some other providers

The bigger issue persists though... hope that Verizon fixes this soon and
that Elecraft sales don't take a hit because of it.

Still out in Rhode Island Verizon FIOS even after clearing local DNS cache.

Not a huge deal, I can use my AT hotspot to get in (although that was out
last week too), but it's been this way for about a week.  It comes/goes.
Sometimes I can get to it.  Other times I can't.  It probably is an issue
with Verizon, but it sure isn't getting resolved.

I'm experiencing the same problem here in Rockville MD (also a Verizon FIOS
customer), even after the DNS flush. I found a workaround though... if I
use the Tor browser (https://www.torproject.org/). Tor routes your

For anyone with a Mac who needs to flush their Domain Name Server cache, here 
are the instructions for OS X 10.10.4 or newer:

1. Open Terminal.app
2. On the command line enter:

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

3. Exit Terminal..app

To do the same thing in older versions of OS X, see:

[Elecraft] Fios and Elecraft Website Access

2016-01-04 Thread Fred Lauricella 
I jumped in to quickly. I can only access the Electraft homepage. It just
sits there when I try to access links on the elecraft site. Only external
links work.

As others have said I can ftp to the site just fine.  I will just sit back
in silence to see if  Verizon fixes their problem.

Re: [Elecraft] Fios and Elecraft Website Access

2016-01-04 Thread Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft 
We've checked here and nothing appears wrong with the actual server for the 
Elecraft web site. We've checked it here via multiple providers (ATT, Verizon 4G 
cellular, ATT optical). All those appear to access it OK.


It appears the problem resides at Verizon (and possibly others) with their 
network DNS servers. There -was- a short optical fiber outage mid-last week 
upstream of the ISP that hosts our Elecraft website. Its possible that the 
network re-routing required when this was fixed was not properly updated by 
Verizon on their servers and possibly other network routing servers.


Also note- you can access our web page via two addresses:
www.elecraft.comand
elecraft.com
Both end up at the same place.

One additional thought:
If you are still having problems, you may need to flush the local DNS cache of 
old internet routing records on your PC. This can be done easily via the command 
window in Windows.


From the program menu (icon on the lower left corner of the windows screen) 
chose 'run' and then enter 'command' as the program to run and press enter. This 
will bring up a dos command window.


From the command prompt in that window type:   ipconfig /flushdns
Then press the enter key.
Then type: exit   followed by the enter key to close the window.

Lastly, close and re-load your browser and reload the page.

Please let us know if either of the elecraft webpage addresses above still fail 
to work.
