Nope, sorry still nada...

1) Where you are located
San Diego, CA
2) Who your ISP is
Work: CBEYOND COMMUNICATIONS
Home: Cox Communications
3) What you see when you try to load a page/pages
At both locations, I get a "Server not found" message,as it is trying to redirect me to: http://www2.phandroid.com/
4) Your IP address would be helpful
69.199.146.210

It has been working on my phone, however, with no problems the whole time (Sprint).
 
It seems to be a nameserver/cache problem on the local server/ISP/router/etc... of visitors. Something which only a little bit of time will fix. Hopefully you all will be patient but PLEASE CONTINUE to report the problem. If it hasn't been fixed soon there might be another issue which we haven't yet addressed.
 
This is the second or third day I can't get to it. Neither my pc nor my htc hero can make it to Android Phone. I'm able to ping the address, but I guess I don't know whether it also is redirected or not.

It's funny that I continue to get rss feeds from the site, but the images in the stories don't ever make it. When I click the link in the feed, each time I wind up redirected to the www2.

Surprised this is still going on...

If I understand it right, Phandroid can't do anything about it. At some point during a server switch over or some other server-related occurence, phandroid.com was accidentally propagated to the world wide web as www2.phandroid.com, which is just a subdomain that big sites use to help relieve load/stress on their servers, and it seems to not exist any more. Eventually, in a day or two hopefully, the web will re-propagate Android Phone and stop this shenanigans.
 
It is now working for me at home, but still not at work... almost there!
 
Its been a few days now, "www2.phandroid.com" not found.

Based in London, England

Will try again later,

Now begining to suffer redrawal symptoms :(
 
At work, I can now access the blog, but it still comes to me as www2, but it works! :D

still not working for me, i will try to change my DNS server on my router and see if that helps

Right, I took off my auto DNS from ISP setting and changed it to BT's DNS server settings (British Telecom - think AT&T) that worked, so I manually entered my own ISP's settings (Tiscali - UK) and it worked for a bit........ then stopped working again!

So I have just pointed my router to the OpenDNS servers, might as well keep it there as it seems to have a good speed:-
primary - 208.67.222.222
Secondry - 208.67.220.220

Try that if anyone is still having issues, it will get solved eventually but it will take sometime......

Good thing I unemployed as I have wasted only an hour of my time, maybe I should right for phandroid whilst I'm waiting!!
 
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else is still having issues with the site?

I can load the main page but any links after that get me a 404 error so for example the podcast page gets me:
Not Found

The requested URL /podcast/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

nslookup gets me the following:
Name: phandroid.com
Address: 66.7.222.45

Just further proof that this is not a Phandroid issue, but a DNS issue. I'm surprised they haven't all resolved by this point.
 
I temporary solved for now by grabbing the IP from a different DNS server for phandroid.com (66.7.222.27) and stuck that into my hosts file for now (/etc/hosts for Linux and %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for Windows)
