Re: [ANNOUNCE] View .BIT Domains without any DNS Modifications or Special Software March 11, 2012, 05:30:07 PM #50 Quote from: CIYAM Pty. Ltd. on March 11, 2012, 01:30:29 PM Quote from: phelix on March 11, 2012, 11:45:22 AM try:

nslookup gee.bit.namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org

this will look up gee.bit with suffix added directly on your default dns



Thanks - this does work (I already use 8.8.8.8 for my DNS lookup) - but how do I get this to work through a browser?

After you have installed the .reg file try:



nslookup bx.bit



If this gives you an ip address it means that the suffix is installed and you are getting close.

note: nslookup does dns resolution in a different way than the os



If ping bx.bit still does not work it means your os is not using the suffix properly for "everyday" lookups.



It might be necessary to deactivate/activate your internet connection or even do a reboot.



also this might help: ipconfig /flushdns (clears the dns cache, does not hurt)





What OS are you on? I assume you did use the .reg file from here:
