Web domains unreachable...

How my web domains "disappeared" and how I got them back.

  1. . Tried this...
    I look to see what my domains' IP address was (136.36.201.219) and it had not changed (at GoDaddy).
  2. . Tried that...
    I looked at Apache 2 running on tol-eressea as well as the virtual definitions for some of my domains and all looked good.

    Consequently, I was stumped as to why I could not reach these domains.

  3. . Went to TP-LINK router (192.168.0.1), authenticated and clicked on (Port) Forwarding where port 80 (and the other port numbers) were Status disabled. I don't know how this happened, and didn't even know it was a thing, but re-enabling (all) got all my domains working again.

New TP-Link AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Access Point...

...was installed atop the pantry. Instead of getting its own name (SSID), it got Menegroth, the name of the house router (that sits after Google Box) and a new passphrase it shares with the house router, which also has a wireless component to it.


TP-Link WA901ND 450Mbit Wireless N Access Points...

...named Lorien and Imladris are now in the concentrator room and deprecated.
