Go to the control panel, choose network and sharing, change adapter settings, choose your connection method, right click to get to properties, select internet protocol 4, then properties, preferred DNS server and enter 8.8.8.8 and the alternate DNS server 8.8.4.4

I do not want to take credit for this, but on another thread 'ChuckandBernice' posted this comment. I have tried this fix and it corrects all the villages website problems and actually speeded up my computer. Just take your time and follow the directions that he has written above.

Thanks, also. It works on the laptop, again. Turned Wi-Fi off earlier on the phone to get tee time for men's day tomorrow.

I'm also getting a response that server is not found. Tried on 2 different computers, and iphone. My neighbor is also unable to reach site.

[SarFred]

Cannot get villages.net either.

I did the ChuckandBernice fix and it solved the problem, so I now have access to villages.net. Here was their fix: Originally posted by ChuckandBernice

Another work around is to just turn off the wi-fi on your smart phone and bypass Century Link. If you want to use your computer, turn on your phone hot spot and connect to it. Works fine.

It took me awhile to adapt the instructions for a MAC but I did and can now access the site. Thanks for the help.

Their phone message states they are aware of problem and heavy incoming call volume. Instruct caller to call CenturyLink. CenturyLink informed me problem was with Villages.net server whom is trying to fix. CenturyLink was informed that estimated time for fix is end of day today.
I have been without email or golf access since yesterday morning

I can now access the websites using my tablet. Last night I could not. Hopefully the problem is fixed for everyone.

I'm on now with my desktop. CenturyLink tends to blame others for their shortcomings.

I love my Comcast. did not have any interruption with my tee time website yesterday. My neighbor told me when we played golf today that the tee time website was down all day . told him not on my computer

We are all victims to today's technology

[lpkshop]

i have brighthouse and I cant access. tried Coming Soon and I got COMING SOON THE VILLAGES. Turned off the wifi and I went to a site said UNDER CONSTRUCTION

[HogPilot]

I have Brighthouse too and haven't been able to access it since this morning. Still down for me.

Worked immediately and correctly for me just now.

I like this house a lot;
The Villages - Search for New, Pre-owned Homes and Villas in The Villages, Florida

BUT the interior décor is lousy looking. Not what we used to see at all. It is not at all well done.
