Have you configured your router so that it points your public domain name ? That is, your public/global IP requests should be redirected to your NAS server on your local network.
We are offering a voluntary workaround
for users who are unable to access the game through Frontier's DNS
servers. A suggested way to solve this issue is to use OpenDNS servers.
This solution was reported to have worked for a user with this issue.
Please note: We are merely suggesting this suggestion, as it has been
passed to us, but do not take responsibility for failure of this
solution. We would also recommend this only for users who consider
themselves to be knowledgeable about computer networking.
We are also investigating further and hope to have a more simple solution in the future.
1. Open your control panel.
2. Open up Network and Internet and go to the Network and Sharing Center.
3. Click on Change adapter settings on the left hand panel.
NOTE: These steps do not change if you are modifying the Wireless Network Connection instead
8. Check the validate settings upon exit (Optional) check box, click OK, and then Close to finish. (See screenshot above) Go to My Computer>Dialup Networking. Right-click your internet connection and select Properties. A window will open - click the Server Types tab. Click TCP/IP Settings. Go to Control Panel>Network Connections and select your local network. Click Properties, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties.
5. If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.
6. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on properties.
7. In the properties window you will see a few radio
boxes with both of them saying Obtain an IP/DNS Address
Automatically....we will leave the IP address alone and will change the Obtain DNS....to use the following:
In the Preferred DNS server boxes enter this sequence: 208.67.222.222
In the Alternate DNS server boxes enter this sequence: 208.67.220.220
9. Windows will check your settings (if you checked the
option above) and you will be finished! Now start surfing to feel the
effects of a quicker and more secure browsing experience!
How to change Windows XP DNS settings:
Sometimes you may want to override the default DNS (Domain Name Server)
settings on your computer so you can specify which DNS server is used,
or which IP address should be used for a particular domain. There are
two ways to do this: Specify the DNS and map IP addresses.
(1) Specify the DNS to be Used
To set your DNS, you need to find the Internet Protocol window.
For Users on a Dial-up Connection:
For All Other Users:
You will see a window like the one below - this is the Internet Protocol window. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the desired DNS server(s) in the space(s) provided.
Note: To add more DNS servers, click Advanced then the DNS tab.
(2) Map IP Addresses
This method allows you to create settings for individual domains
without altering your main DNS preferences. This is useful if you don't
have access to a DNS or if you want to specify the location of a single
domain without interfering with any of your other online activities.
Open the following file in a plain text editor such as Notepad:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
The file looks like the one below. At the end of the file (in this
case, under the localhost entry), enter the IP and domain you wish to
specify. When your browser attempts to access a domain it refers to this
file first - if the domain is found here then the specified IP address
will be used. If the domain is not found here, then the normal DNS
server (as specified above) will be used.
(Note that for the XP one above, they can use the same OpenDNS servers
(208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) as for the Windows 7 link above)
