I've got a domain name www.mysite.com that I want fowarded to www.example.com/87785487

I registered the www.mysite.com domain at www.internetbs.net

All of this was done 5 days ago.

When I connect to the WiFi at my hostel I get the correct website when I browse to www.mysite.com

When I disconnect and use my 3G/4G instead, I go to www.topdns.com when I browse to www.mysite.com

This is a big problem because I'm doing this for a real estate agent who is advertising a home and she's already printed out flyers and stuff showing www.mysite.com as the website for the home advertisement.

Hmm. My guess is that your 3g dns service is retarded.

First thing I would do, go to a known DNS like google's 8.8.8.8 and see if it resolves correctly. If that is the case, it is most definitely a problem with your mobile ISP's DNS service, I would contact them to get it fixed.

Can you change your redirect to use the actual IP address of the second site?

script

document.location = http : // 123.123.123.123 / page

or header

< META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="0;URL= http : // 123.123.123.123 / page ">

What's the TTL set for the domains? I would have to think after 5 days it should've propagated everywhere.
