123-reg and web forwarding

[Mike Hughes]

I'd think you do have to use the 123 nameservers if you want the forwarding to work. I'd imagine this setting takes priority over the forwarding.

what settings do you currently have for the name servers.

i've give that a whirl after looking at it, it was locked and had the namecity name servers so i'll see what happens . . . . thanks for that.

i hadn't even looked at the nameservers TBH, it's not the sort of thing i do everyday transferring domains so its a bit like fumbling around in the dark to me lol . . . . . . thanks chaps anyway, i'll keep checking it and see what happens

Same for me to be honest, just happened to have done something similar yesterday and asked for some advise over at the other place.
Initially I thought I only needed to set up the web forwarding but was advised that I hsould also change the name servers to the 123-reg name servers. Initially nothing different was noticeable but by the morning it was working fine.

www dot traffordangling dot com is now defaulting to the 123 holding page, have you checked that web forwarding is still set-up in the control panel and the full url including 'http://www' is listed as the url to forward to.

Been there with a similar problem.

Go to the control panel.
Manage DNS.
And you will see that 123reg will have changed your www ip address to theirs.
Change them all back to the original.
You will see the changes within the next day or earlier if you are lucky.

thanks for that alex i had a look and they were the wrong i.p's so i've changed them to the correct ones inside of actinics network settings
