Steps to check if Facebook is down!

Here are a few basic steps you can follow to make sure Facebook is really down and the problem is not with your computer or internet connection.

Step 1: Check this website

1. Add this website to your favorites and verify if other users in your country/city are having any issues with Facebook.

Step 2: Try different websites

1. If you cannot connect to other websites chances are you are having computer/internet problems.  Try rebooting your computer, modem and router.  If this doesn’t fix the issue you should probably call your internet service provider.

Step 3: Call a friend

1. If you know someone that is using the same internet service provider give him/her a call to see if they can connect to Facebook.

Step 4: Ping

1. Send out a ping command to see if the Facebook server is responding.
1. Click on start, run and type CMD, this will open a black window.
2. Type ping Facebook.com. You should see results like the following

2. If the ms results are very high there is an issue with either your computer, the route in between or the destination.

Step 5: Name Resolution

1. Send out a nslookup command to see if you can resolve the Facebook.com into its IP address.
1. Click on start, run and type CMD, this will open a black window.
2. Type nslookup Facebook.com.  You should see results like the following

2. If you do not get a similar reply, you are probably having issues with your local DNS cache or your ISP’s DNS.  You should try clearing your cache to see if this resolves the issue.  After performing this command try connecting to Facebook, if the website is still not loading you can try calling your internet provider to setup their DNS server addresses on your computer or to see if they are having issues with their DNS server.
1. To clear your cache you need to click on start, run and type CMD, this will open a black window.
2. Type ipconfig /flushdns .  You should see results like the following
