Thanks Bill, I'll give that a try when they're down. I have my own DNS servers but I have someone admin them from a remote location.
I just assigned a different IP to their aBO and gave them a call and they were back online, but I have no way of knowing yet if it was what I did that got them back (I was thinking maybe someone else may have assigned themselves the aBO's IP). I hate intermittant problems. - Roger ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Flood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 9:44 AM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] 2nd attempt, web comes and goes, email works > Roger, > > Who's doing your DNS?
