Houston, we have a Lift-Off

Well, you have been busy, Gare. The site is working here in chilly Spain and it looks great. Must have a go at the 3D deeduckohoodron tutorial soon. Thanks for all your hard work, it certainly is appreciated.
Bob.

Thanks, Bob!

I remember I lost it halfway through the video, trying to pronounce dodecahedron for the 15th time, flubbed it, and just kept going.

The result will be a lot more impressive than my narration!

I don't want to make the thread loger and longer but I can access the new site on one Laptop and not the other.
On the other I have tried to clear any browsing history etc...
Strange?!

Try (assuming it's Windows) closing the browsers then.

Run > cmd.

Then ipconfig /flushdns on the offending machine.

I was going to say the same thing. This flushes the dns cache from your computer. The only other thing I'd recommend is after running that command, clear your browser before trying to access the site again.

You should not that running that command as shown, happens very quickly. You can blink and miss the popup window that opens and closes. This is normal.

Found what you need to run on a mac.

Open the terminal on your computer

On a computer running Lion (Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or 10.7) enter the following command followed by pressing the “return” key:

dscacheutil –flushcache

In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, enter the following command followed by pressing the “return” key:

lookupd –flushcache

Thanks Antony and Chris but those commands only work on the local machines cache. The service provider's DNS server will still provide the IP Address that it has within their database until it updates.

Using a new location's IP Address will cause the DNS server to update when it sees traffic to a given name that does not match their record's IP Address. Something we used on DARPANET and MIL-NET back in the prehistoric days of the internet.

True, Bill, but I've found clearing the dns cache on your computer and then the browser cache works about 80% of the time. I do a lot of site moves from one server to another and run into this quite often.

Congratulations Gare and Barbara! Huff puff... What a hill to climb!

Chris I'm not saying clearing the local caches won't work, it should fix Rik's problem where one laptop sees the new site and the other does not.

I was trying to clear up why some people will not see any difference after they clear the caches.
