Hi!
Not sure if bug or network problem.
1. The classical message (cannot contact Wrobot, disable firewall, etc) is triggered on startup.
2. I followed all suggested torubleshooting steps. However, I noticed that i was unable, also, to surf the wbrobot.eu web,so I obviously thought that it was a network connectivity problem.
3. I fired up Linux on the same machine (dual boot) and still, not able to browse wrobot.eu.
4. Tried from my phone (it is a different ISP). Same problem, wrobot.eu is down.
5. I used a Proxy service from the main machine (Windows 7) to browse from the USA. No problem at all.
6. I used another PC from another location, different ISP. No problem to browse wrobot.eu
So I tried nslookup to check the DNS resolution from my ISP's provider DNS (62.36.225.150)
Quote> server 62.36.225.150
Default Server: dnscache1.wanadoo.es
Address: 62.36.225.150> wrobot.eu
Server: dnscache1.wanadoo.es
Address: 62.36.225.150*** dnscache1.wanadoo.es can't find wrobot.eu: Server failed
And then I tried using one OPENDNS root server (208.67.222.222):
Quote> server 208.67.222.222
Default Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222> wrobot.eu
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222Non-authoritative answer:
Name: wrobot.eu
Address: 94.23.205.123
7. I tried again from my cellphone and wrobot.eu was up...for like 5 minutes.
8. Tried from another cellphone, different ISP provider. failed.
Conclusiosn:
a. There is a problem for the DNS resolution for wrobot.eu at least at Spain.
b. Four different ISP providers tested, two do not work, one does work intermitently, another one works.
If I edit the /etc/hosts file for wrobot.eu and set it manually to 94.23.205.123 IT DOES work browsing wrobot.eu; however other subdomains (download.wbot.com) don't work. I assume the subdomain/service Wrobot contacts is another different one and does not simply connect to wrobot.eu.
Have you changed DNS CNAM, A or TXT records for your domain recently?.
Regards.
