will changing this DNS settings effect my internet service provider settings in any way? actually i have suffered a lot in the past regarding my internet service so now m fearing to do any changes..

It shouldn't affect it in any way.

I've been using google dns servers for almost a year now and it hasn't given me any difficulties, although there's problems in logging into IB time to time (especially when I opened tabs simultaneously)

What is the actual problem that occurred when we first couldn't get on to the forum? Did something change? No other website is giving this problem where we have to change our settings to accommodate it.

Although accessing from the computer is now fine having made the changes, what do we do about mobile devices (say standard mobile phones) that still have the same problem of not being able to access the forum at certain times "the url http://www.islamicboard.com is unavailable"? Is it the same procedure, or something different? I don't really want to infere with the service provider's internet settings...

Try contact your ISP, Tell them your problem and hopefully they will be able to do something about it.
 
I'll check the DNS settings this afternoon. I seem to be able to be on during the morning and evening, but not the afternoon.

I didn't read the whole thread, I have the same problem since the last month. I even tried to access the forum when I was abroad last month from different computers but the same issue happened.

So did you get the solution for that problem or not yet?
 
^no need to read the whole thread sister. Just follow the instructions by sis insaanah in post 48. INSHALLAH the problem in accessing IB will be solved..

This is the message I get:

The requested URL could not be retrieved.

While trying to retrieve the URL http://www.islamicboard.com, the following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.islamicboard.com

The dnsserver returned:

Name Server for domain www.islamicboard.com is unavailable.

This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

And occasionally I get this one:

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved.

While trying to retrieve the URL http://www.islamicboard.com/, the following error was encountered:

Connection to www.islamicboard.com failed

The system returned:

(145) connection timed out.

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Others seem to be having the same problem too:

Any help would be much appreciated.
