For the past couple of days I have been getting a "Network Error" when I try and pull up the Warlords armada fleet builder page. I have tried on different computers, browsers, etc... and the same problem. Is the site down or some other issue going on?
Warlords fleet builder down?
It's not - word of the builder owner.
There is another user who reported the same problem, so I assume this is not an exception and there is actually a problem, which I can already say it's not code-related. I'll have a speech with my hosting service and see if there is something going on.
I was just able to get in
When you checked from multiple computers, were they all from your home internet? Could be your ISP blocking it for some reason. Are you having the same problem accessing it from a cell network? Not sure where you live, but is it possible the domain is blocked in your country?
A few very basic initial troubleshooting steps, if you're interested in helping troubleshoot it:
I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I'm just going to explain this as though you know nothing about computers. Worst-case, you get a long explanation that you don't need. ![]()
Open a command line (in Windows, WIN + R > cmd.exe)
At the command line type:
ipconfig /flushdns nslookup armadawarlords.hivelabs.solutions
This will verify that you can resolve the DNS request for the domain. If you're not familiar with DNS, it's basically the phone book for the Internet that translates human-readable URLs like fantasyflightgames.com to machine-readable IP addresses like 104.20.3.126.
You should see output like:
Server: plaintext.servername.yourisp
Address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
<maybe some stuff here>
Name: armadawarlords.hivelab.solutions
Addresses: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
If you get IP address(es) on that second Addresses field, your problem is (probably) not DNS.
Next, check your ping to the server. Take the IP address you got in the second Addresses field above; then, in the terminal, type:
ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
... subbing in the address you got above.
If you see:
Reply from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: bytes=32 time=78ms TTL=64
you have connectivity to the server.
If you see an arcane error message that doesn't make any sense, you don't.
Note this isn't a conclusive check, since sometimes servers will block the protocol associated with ping for security reasons, but it's helpful.
Finally, take the IP address you used above and copy-paste it into your web browser just as you would a URL. Type it like so:
http://192.168.0.1
obviously using the IP address you found. This should take you to the Warlords site.
If you do this stuff, report back and I might be able to help run down your issue if it's not on the site's side.

No offense taken, I don't know anything about computers, I fix people for a living.
