I get this.

Name: wxforum.net
Address: 184.172.176.32

My server is my router. NorthwestKS2-1

I take it no one on this forum uses Eagle Communications for Internet? Probably just me. Hilarious.

I've also did a command prompt like so.
ipconfig/flushdns with no luck. 

Yep, that's the old address for the forum.

Do you have access to your router to change the DNS settings?   I have a Cisco EA3200 and it allows me to specify the preferred DNS settings like shown in the image below. 

Thanks a bunch Ken! This worked for me using your thumbnail screenshot! I'm on wxforum.net on my PC.

Welcome back, Ryan :)

Seems not all ISP DNS servers follow the time-to-live data and reload zones appropriately.  Google DNS and OpenDNS seem much better in that case.

Best regards,

Getting the following on and off today, Ken...

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
