They've just moved servers. Today even I think. Still having a few teething problems.

I got the message about the board being moved, but editing the hosts file (C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) has sorted the problem - can now see the forums ok.

Forgot to say - once you get to the right directory, right click on the "hosts" file and choose "Open With", then select "notepad". Once notepad opens up' just need to paste the following in:

66.98.180.36 Briskoda.net
66.98.180.36 www.briskoda.net

I didn't need to reboot (running W2000).

Sample hosts file:

Code:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
66.98.180.36	Briskoda.net
66.98.180.36	www.briskoda.net

Hope that helps!
