Come to think of it, I have had trouble lately finding the posts I have put up. I know I did another update on the NE Houston Tercel but I don't see it anywhere on the forum. Anyone else had that issue lately?

I had a problem today (Monday) for some hours; I kept getting told that "Your DNS server might be unavailable"
And "Windows can't find the host name http://www.tercel4wd.com using DNS."
Neu told me to restart the 'puter, which did not work. He also mentioned flushing the DNS; that did no good either. Then I came back to it some hours later (2 AM CDST) and it worked.
Ideas?

It might be the server the website is listed with that is causing the problem if neu hasn't been doing any kind of offline site maintenance. I've been freaking out! Google Chrome hasn't been working either...

I've had problems as well but chalked it up to dial up. Seems to depend on time of day...

Sorry about the delay you guys.

The reason DNS was having issues at the beginning of last month was because our main host did a server migration, which meant some slight downtime while the DNS servers updated with the new server location. It shouldn't have gone on for too long though, so if you're still having issues then I'd contact your ISP and do some troubleshooting.

Hey, it's been all good, I kind of figured it must be a server thing. I didn't want those finger nails anyways (chewed 'em all down to nubs jones'n' on lost T4 time!)
