The Pits Access DENIED!

Sorry, I missed the thread below, so I'll restart it...

I've had a few people, including some members of The Pits Crew, who have not
been able to
access the site...so what's up?  To tell you the truth, I have no
idea...apparently the problem is
so flakey that sometimes access can be had, other times no dice!

From my knowledge of networking and the internet (and descriptions of the
problem from a
few people), the problem is not at our end...The Pits is up and running fine
(we're at BHMotorsports'
location in Finland).  But, the individual ISPs seem to have really screwed
things up, and I'm really not sure
how they have messed it up so bad.

All I can say is email your ISP and tell them your problem, get on the horn
with their tech support.
Somewhere, somehow, they have blown out their DNS tables is my only
thought...but...
I'll also repost Glaspak's comments below.

Yes, we're here...can you reach us?  I hope so!  ;]

Cheers!

Glaspak's commentary
--------------------------------------------------------
Whoa!
I had this same problem two weeks ago...

And it snowballed into a BIG problem.

I'll save you the endless posts and FOUR
tech support calls to your ISP.
It's your dial-up access number.
I'm on Mindspring/Earthlink.
I got the same thing. Two out of four
tech support personnel couldn't pull up
bhmotorsports or the uspits either.
And their tech support is spaced nationwide.
Seattle could not, Atlanta could, etc...

Eventually, I figured that if my roommate
could pull it up with a Mac/Netscape, yet
the same ISP, there was a difference.
Access number!

I hope that I helped you with your problem,
because I exhausted all options two weeks ago.
And I emailed bhmotorsports to tell them the
problem. (Though it's not with them)

Now, with a different number, I have no
problem. But, it hasn't been explained
to my satisfaction.

Good luck...

Can't tell you how glad I am to help.

The games that I own are more enjoyable
because of contributions from The Pits,
Blackhole Motorsports, and R.A.S.

Hopefully, the DNS problem can be solved.
When I ran Traceroute, it couldn't even
find the server. It was as if it didn't exist.
And I am not savvy in the ways of IT.

I'm just glad that I don't have to book
computer time at the library (after paying
$21.95/month for internet access!) just to
check out The Pits or the BH community.

Thanks...
