Do not believe this is simple DNS issue.
Cyber crime.

Now at home..working great.
Thanks Jim!
Still all good here on AT&T in the Southeast.
Just got off the phone with the registry people. Hopefully it’s all straightened out. Explained the situation re democrats vs republicans and that we’ve been in business at this address for over 20 years and that we sometimes experience denial of service attacks by people who don’t like us very much and they should not be so quick to shut us down in response to their complaints as obviously our registration information does not change very often. They said they now understand the situation. I hope so.
> Edit your hosts file and you will never have DNS issues with FR.
You will have severe problems if you do this and FR ever changes IP address(es).
ok ok... if FR ever goes down after the edits, go to www.isitdownrightnow.com/ If it isnt, remove the entries.
We will hang tough. I hope everyone will understand this is expensive and support is necessary.
I did this last time and just did it again.
The thread I read about said that you should take off the added lines once it’s fixed and I did last time, is that not necessary? It’s safe to just leave it in?
It is safe to just leave it in, and actually faster. If FR ever goes down check one of those is it just me sites and if it is just delete the 2 lines. Good as gold. There is absolutely no risk if JimRob agrees to post a warning he is going to touch DNS records and makes a post. Otherwise there is less than negligible risk for anyone not a mod or higher.
” They said they now understand the situation. I hope so. “
BTTT.
We’re all feeling suspended in space, on a wing and a prayer. Best to you and John, always fighting the good fight, in the air and on the ground.
Cool, thanks.
Still sounds like sabotage, but I'm paranoid. I used to be trinoid, but have been improving, hope to be monoid someday soon.
You’re funny!!!!
