silveradeptSo it's one in the morning. And I have class tomorrow. But the R.O.D. TV is continuing to try and suck my time up. I'll watch more of it when the paper I have due on Thursday is safely completed, I think, because it could get bad. I'll just be glad to have some breathing room (in theory, anyway...) before I get hammered with midterms.
Supposedly, as soon as something in my FTP program kicks over to recognizing a new server, I should be able to update my comic again. I dunno if I need to force such a recognition or whether it will happen automatically. I've tried connecting once already and it hasn't worked. Help?
Anyway, instead of keeping my vigil for the roommates, one of which has done some corrections to the paper that's due tomorrow and hasn't been printed yet... I'll go to bed and tell them to hand it to me first thing tomorrow morning or something.

Date: 2004-02-09 12:45 pm (UTC)Is that exactly how it was described to you? You see, that sounds to me quite like a DNS issue - when the IP address of a server is changed it takes some time for the change to filter around the nameservers (usually ~24 hours, depends how often your ISP updates its DNS records). Until the nameserver you are using picks up the change, the machine's name will continue to resolve to the old IP address. Once the change is picked up the new resolution kicks in and, as long as you're not running your own caching nameserver or static resolution table (which you probably aren't), you should be able to connect to the machine. All this is automatic and you shouldn't need to do anything.
That's if it is a DNS move issue of course. If it isn't you may need to change the settings in your FTP client to reflect the new server information.
