Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you! I don't know WHY I didn't think of that!! IP address does work, so that at least has taken the edge off the urgency, even though it took all morning!! :( also, it has definately confirmed that it is a DNS problem!
(stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid - should have tried IP!) Thanks alot :P Hopefully now we can get some name servers pointing at us properly. Should be right now guys for the time being. Thank you all very much for time and effort! Please feel free to slip any tips regarding setup of DNS etc. :P but (as I said) at least now the urgency has lessened! *PHHHEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW* -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Voytek Sent: Wednesday, 24 September 2003 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SLUG] Virtual server is down... ** Reply to note from "Jared Pritchard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 24 Sep 2003 12:16:35 -0700 > Yes - i'd actually looked at that, but didn't go as far as to ping them... > should have thought.... checking it out now.
