Easy Fix for not being able to access the site. - Syed - Nov 28, 2010
This is a fix to the DNS problem HF is having
Well seeing as I had the same problem just now, I'll tell you how I fixed it.
It's very simple and uses Google's DNS. You can also use any of these DNS servers the same way.
I don't know if it's just working for me or it will work for you guys as well. I know Omni said it should soon be fixed but I'll just leave this here for you impatient people.
You go to your network connections. Choose properties.

You're welcome, I just used my ISP's DNS server and tried accessing the site and it didn't work, then tried Google's DNS server and it worked.
This should help some people.

Didn't see your post, and google dns would be much more reliable anyway.
@CoolDude you need to put www. in front of hackforums.net for it to work.

I'm using a Linksys router as well, works for me so it should work for you.

I use opendns instead, that works well.

Google DNS is the best. They are without doubt the best DNS you can use.

Glad we agree.
To everyone saying it's not working try adding "www." in front of "hackforums.net".
It's working for me so it should work for you.
