-- Posted by thebigredbutton at 8:26 am on Aug. 9, 2008 hi does anyone have the ip addresses for 4chan if so could they please post them here so i can see if i can use them to get onto the site as the dns servers are down -- Posted by sundaygirl92 at 8:26 am on Aug. 9, 2008 is that possible? -- Posted by The Stranger at 8:30 am on Aug. 9, 2008 no -- Posted by jami x3 at 8:31 am on Aug. 9, 2008 The site still wouldn't work. The ip address is just a numerical representation of the domain name according to my IT professor... So I don't think it would work -- Posted by thebigredbutton at 8:33 am on Aug. 9, 2008 no, it would work because the problem is that the dns servers that redirect www.4chan.org to the ip address are down not the actual site it is actually the other way round as well, the domain name is a worded representation of the ip adress -- Posted by Naptime at 3:45 am on Aug. 18, 2008 You can go to websites via IP addresses - I pinged my schools webserver once, went to the IP address and ended up at some other schools website. If you ping, say, Google, and get it's IP address, and enter that it, you'll go to Google, DNS server or not. -- Posted by drifting at 4:11 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Its RARELY the DNS that is down. 4chan is working fine for me though. -- Posted by Naptime at 12:16 am on Aug. 19, 2008 Yes, when a DNS server is down, your requests (as far as I know) are generally routed to another one.
