The new AndroidStory!

In a few moments AndroidStory will be launching its new system. We ask that you please bare with us as we make the switch to the new server. We are hopeful everything will go smoothly and not have any issues. We hope you all like the changes. Due to a DNS switch you may experience the site showing either down, or going back and fourth to the new site. This is expected. At the end of this post there is some directions for users to speed up the process of the switch. Thank you for your patience.

 

 

***FLUSH DNS***

 Microsoft Windows XP

Go to the Start menu, choose Run, type cmd and hit OK. When the black screen appears, type the following command and hit enter.

 net stop

Then type this command and hit enter.

 ipconfig /flushdns

Restart your application (e.g. browser or email).

Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7

Click the Start orb and follow All Programs > Accessories, look for Command Prompt. Be sure to right click on Command Prompt and choose “Run as Administrator”. When the black screen appears, type the following command and hit enter.

 net stop

Then type this command and hit enter.

 ipconfig /flushdns

Restart your application (e.g. browser or email).

Mac OSX

Navigate to your Applications folder, open Utilities, and double click on Terminal. Type the following command and hit enter.

Don’t worry if either command says something like “Not found”.
