LISTEN UP FAGGOTS, THIS WILL FIX 4CHAN FOR YOU

If you can't post or access some boards or whatever, it's because 4chan's DNS server died. moot spent the hosting money on liquor and porn.

DNS is what maps hostnames (like 4chan.org) to IP addresses. Without DNS, your computer has no idea where the fuck "4chan.org" is located.

To fix this, open the following file:

For Windows: C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc/hosts.txt
For *nix (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.): /etc/hosts

Then paste this:

207.126.64.166 4chan.org
207.126.64.166 www.4chan.org

But anyone that can see your post is obviously already on 4chan, so your thread is fucking useless

also: 4chan's DNS is back up, so editing your hostfile is more likely to cause harm now

pesky system 32 must be doing it.

system32 folder sometimes keeps blocking 4chan.org so delete it and you always get through

funny gag, but for those who don't know, do not delete the system32 folder. it's basically the operating system of the computer (for windows). (of course on the win98se artefact which i'm running, it's 'system' not 'system32').
the more you know, the more you can enjoy 4chan.

I was almost interested in putting the effort into doing/understanding this, but then I realized that there is no point to visiting 4chan when basically everyone else can't access it.
