Hi all

For the past 24 hours or so I haven't been able to go to http://www.homestarrunner.com. I get the 'Connection has timed out' thing. Is the server unusually busy due to April Fools? I've tried at several times over the past day to no avail. Anyone else having any issues? I'm anxious 'cause I want to see the April Fools site before it's too late =)

I'm using Firefox 1.5 (I've tried IE too, same problem)
I've tried it on another computer on my network, same problem.
I have Flash 8.

Thanks for any help,
Lor.

Maybe it's because it's

.com.?

It should be .com

not .com.

That should be the problem, and if not. Meh, I tried.

My insatiable lust for proper grammar clouded the URL. That second . is just a period for the end of the sentence. But thanks still =)

I'll try flushing my DNS - I'll have to hunt around abit, unless you can give me a hint on how to do that. Do I log in to my router to do that?

Awesome, thanks. I tried flushing the DNS, but no joy. I've also tried renaming my 'hosts' file, but no joy either. I've found a couple of other websites that I can't access - myspace.com, and slashdot.

This is very weird. I checked my ISP for any news about outages like this, but they haven't said anything. Thanks for the help guys.
