Hello,

Can you please kindly let me know if it's the graphics not displaying, or when you clicked on it it doesn't direct you to the vendor's site? If the graphics is not displaying, can you right click on it and see what file it is attempting to load? For Firefox, it's right click -> Copy Image Location. For Internet Explorer, it's right click -> Properties -> Address.

I'm also seeing a bunch of mail bounce back. Some are because the member's e-mail is not valid. Some are because our IP is being blocked. If you have a shaw.ca address, then you'll most likely not able to receive e-mails from the site. Shaw.ca believes our mail server has a poor reputation.

If I click on a banner ad, I get a "...because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection..." message.

If I click on the FTOTM link, I get a "...because Safari can't find the server "canreef.com" message.

For either error message if I replace canreef.com with 216.187.96.54 in the address bar, they both work.

I do use shaw.ca, so I guess I'll change that.

Hello,

Mitch, thanks and that's very interesting. Can you do the following:
1) Start -> Run, type Cmd, press Enter
2) Type "nslookup www.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.198
3) Type "nslookup mail.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.198 also
4) Type "nslookup ns1.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.200
5) Type "nslookup ns2.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.201

If the above doesn't return the proper info, do:
Type "ipconfig /flushdns", press Enter

I'm on a Mac using Terminal, so I'm not sure about that last command, but this is what I get:

Hello,

Okay so the DNS is working properly on your end, and there's no need to flush your computer's DNS entries.

I searched online for the two error messages you saw, and found the following:

Can you try to use Firefox or IE instead of Safari?

Firefox Macintosh gives me "cannot find server" for TOTM
Firefox Macintosh gives me "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"

Firefox Windows gives me a blank page for a banner ad
Firefox Windows gives me "cannot find server" for TOTM

Internet Explorer Windows gives me "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" for both issues.

From the cmd window, Windows gives me this:
