Error accessing secure.authorize.net

[mleding]

I am having intermittant sales go through your Gateway.  I have seen at least 4 transactions processed and several denied.  I have not changed anything in my web design in three years in conjunction with authorize.net.  I believe I may be having a tim eout issue.  I also use the SIM integration.  I did notice that the version in my account was set to 3.0 and my SIM transaction was set to 3.1.  The customer care associate assisted me in changing this to 3.1, but it did not reolves the issue I am having below:

The remote name could not be resolved: 'secure.authorize.net'

it errors on my code here:

Line 87:         myrequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll?" & strLoginTest & vPostData)

Line 88: thresponse = myrequest.GetResponse - ERRORS here.

Server Error in '/' Application.

---

The remote name could not be resolved: 'secure.authorize.net'

I called into customer care and they stated with intermittent sales being processed they cannot assist me and my only recourse is to see if anyone else has encounter this issue.  Any help woul be great

That look like a DNS issue. Can you access that URL on the server in a web browser?

Are hosting in house or outside hosting? Maybe need to talk to your network person.

I am hosting in house and have been for three years with Auth.net.  All of a sudden on 2/1 I get sporadic sales.  As you can imagine if it isnt broken don't fix or change it.  So I haven't change a...

Error 92: The payment gateway no longer supports the requested method of integration.

Auth.net gives me no help with this one.  They did send me a SIM timeout issue

Thanks for response

Just to be clear, if you put this https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll on the web browser on the server that run the

myrequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll?" & strLoginTest & vPostData)

are you getting 

The following errors have occurred.

(13) The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive.

P.S. if you calling authorize.net in code that AIM, not SIM.

something to look into

It said something about proxy settings. Are you running it in web farm or just one server?

[mleding]

Yes I receive error 13.  I am usin gone server.  Somebody suggests this is my issue: This is a problem with your DNS  on the box that is running the web page.  It can't resolve the host name to an IP address.  I am not sure how to resolve this one.

[RaynorC1emen7]

Sorry not familiar with gone server. But can use change to use something like the google public dns server? https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

[mleding · Accepted solution]

meant to say.."using on server.." and it came out usin gone server....It was the DNS.  Error has been corrected.  Thanks for all your help
