Question: Can only get on Pokecommunity through ip

M4 said:
What I mean is, I can't get on Pokecommunity with https://pokecommunity.com, right now I can only go on it with the ip I got from google.. And it's very inconvenient. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Did you ever browse PC using a style called Snivy's Holiday at any point earlier? You might have to end up sending your IP to Rukario to get it unblocked. ;x

edit; at least, that was the case when I had this issue.

If on a windows pc, try this: start > run > cmd.exe >> nslookup www.pokecommunity.com

if on linux / mac, bring up a command prompt, enter dig www.pokecommunity.com

OK its not dns related.. now in same window, type: tracert www.pokecommunity.com

paste results here
 
something is not right..
do you have firewall/security software on your comp? check it to make sure PC is allowed / whitelisted..

check your hosts file to make sure PC isn't listed or if it is, it has the proper IP (174.133.255.180)

the "host" file is under C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ or %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ and hence cannot be edited by normal users.

To edit the host file,

Click Start – search for "Notepad", right-click and select "Run as Administrator". This should launch notepad with elevated privileges. Now, open the host file from the File menu, edit and save.

try any of our other domains:
pcomm.info
pkmncommunity.com
pokecommunity.co.uk
pokecommunity.info
pokecommunity.org
pokecommunity.org.uk

(try a tracert too, paste here)

This problem happened to me to, and I just found out how to fix it earlier. The reason I believe I got this problem is because I downloaded the Pokemon Game Editor program that Gamer2020 (the guy who hates the moderation of PokeCommunity) and I recently received an update from the program that created that host file.

So let me ask you, did you download it?
