Anyone else still waiting for an ISP to resolve to the new host?

I'm in Ontario, Canada and can only log-in via the IP address posted.

Windows maintains its own DNS cache, so if you use Windows, try opening a command prompt and enter the following command:

ipconfig /flushdns

I learn something new everyday. Thanks, toast!

Thanks Ron, I see now. I didn't know what the old dms servers were so I couldn't check them.

DNF- you should really go kill the zone from your old DNS servers. Its a huge pain having to browse by IP, signing in repeatedly and having to copy the session id and ip onto any url that comes in email.

If you're running on a newer version of Windows, add two entries to the HOSTS file for dnforum.com

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts

Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Important: "hosts" is a file and not a directory. Use MS Dos Edit or NotePad to modify.

Add at the end of the file, the following lines:

66.132.214.10 dnforum.com
66.132.214.10 www.dnforum.com

If using XP, the updates will take place immediately ... otherwise, close all windows and restart.

Sunday morning all DNS issues were corrected so I would assume all should be able to access by domain within the next 24 hours if you're not already.
