Nope, just tried through another ISP with same results. I tried the hosts file fix mentioned here also, but that didn't work either. Tried using both IE and Netscape. I normally connect through Freeserve in the UK. Anyone else using this ISP who has/hasn't been able to connect? -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

I get fishy errors when connecting to http://gplrank.ringlord.com too... I have my own Linux DNS server/cache, and I have to restart it almost every time I try to connect(maybe something with flushing the cache?). My guess is that the problem is at the ringlord end. /Magnus GPLRank hcp: -5.76

Anyone else using this ISP who has/hasn't been able to connect? This got put up today apparently: GPLRank FAQ: Sometimes I get "site not found" when trying to access gplrank. What's up? Chris Noto writes: "Uwe, I found a tip on your http://ringlord.com/links.html page, that mentioned a "/etc/hosts file or its windows equivalent". I tracked the the Windows equivalent down. It is a file named "hosts" (no extension name) in the \windows directory. There is a sample named "hosts.sam". I added the line "216.200.107.162 gplrank.ringlord.com" to "hosts", and get through fine now to GPLrank. Thought you might want to add that info to your page... Chris." /Magnus GPLRank hcp: -6.06

Within Linux, you can enter the ip address / name pair in /etc/hosts like this: 216.200.107.162 gplrank.schuerkamp.de gplrank.ringlord.com and it should take precendence over ringlords broken DNS entries.
