The DNS still hasn't propigated to my ISP. I had to use a workaround, once I found out from someone who can get here what the new IP address is. Here's what I did, in case anyone wants to know or pass it on (since obviously, if people can't get here they can't read this ;-). I couldn't at all, until I got the new IP address and added it to my hosts file. More information on the Windows hosts file: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm All I did was add these two lines: 66.18.106.197 renderosity.com 66.18.106.197 www.renderosity.com to c:windowssystem32driversetchosts and rebooted. Voila, Renderosity now answers perfectly. Note that this is the location of the hosts file for Windows XP. Other systems have it elsewhere (see the URL I gave for details and other technical things to consider). Also note that if R'sity changes their IP address again, you'll need to change your hosts file, or you'll be redirected to whatever IP is in your file. bonni"When a man gives his opinion, he's a man.
