Lloyds site unreachable

[#1]

I have been unable to access Lloyds Bank site for three days.
The bank help desk remarks "It must be your provider".
Plusnet phone queue has 45 waiting clients so that is not a valid option.

Anyone else had this problem with Lloyds?

(no problem with other banks by the way)

[#2]

Nope, it's working for me, as in prompting for UID, Password as a site but I'm not a customer.

[#3]

Thanks for that..but still the same here

[#4]

@TW - Pinging that address I get an IP of 40.127.139.252 so if you click here does it take you to the site?

Mmm, tried the link myself and it doesn't work! Goes to some MS Azure stuff!

If you open a command window use :

ipconfig /flushdns

To see if this helps.

[#5]

I use that site. The only minor hiccup is that quite often it appears unavailable at first, but immediately clicking on "Try again" always then gets there.

You might also want to try this:

https://www.lloydsbank.com/

[#7]

I'm with Lloyds Bank and @Anonymous's link is the one I normally use.

[#8]

Thanks for the interest Mook!
40.127.139.252 also gives me Azure
I run Debian 8, ipconfig is not a feature I think...I have tried to flush the cache but apparently there isn't one!

kdiment -- regrettably 'Try Again' doesn't work for me....

I tried the link Mook posted and successfully reached the site..hoorah...BUT...trying the personal banking tab resulted in the same no server notice...

It's enough to make me want to move banks ...after more years than I care to remember...or ISP's....possibly

[#9]

Didn't understand about 'lithium'--brief research didn't help....I'll try again later with that topic...

Happy to hear your access is as usual though.

[#10]

Just to clarify, I use @Anonymous's link (https://www.lloydsbank.com/) but I use Google's DNS and can access the personal banking tab.

[#11]

@TW -  If you're on debian try this:

sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start

[#12]

I installed ncsd and restarted this daemon but without effect I'm afraid.

dns-clean  does not exist on my system and Synaptic and/or apt-get doesn't know about it...stymied!

Browni suggests using Google's DNS - more research on my part is needed .....

Much appreciate the help from all.

[#13]

@TW - Well it wouldn't if you've only just installed it!

To change your dns edit your resolv.conf

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 8.8.8.8

nameserver 8.8.4.4

 This assumes the nano editor is installed of course.

[#14]

Upgrading my bookmark Mook, as you suggested, now allows access to the main site but the personal banking tab still 'falls down'
With dns edit I assumed that installation and then reboot was all that was required,,,I'll do it properly this time and adjust resolv.conf as you suggest, retry and then say how I got on.

[#15 · Accepted solution]

If by 'dns edit' you mean changing your resolv.conf then you shouldn't need a restart, it's not Windows you're running
