The link has remained unchanged for a very long time on my desktop. May
be a problem with ISP - that is the only thing that would explain why
some get it and others do not.
The link on your desktop is simply a URL. All that works in the
Internet are IP addresses. There is a translation between URL's and
real IP addresses, it happens in the Domain Name Servers around the
world. An update used to come out once a day, don't know now, but the
DNS talk to each other and the update propagates around the world.
While still employed, we were doing a data center move for Wells Fargo
Bank. While in Phoenix at a bunch of meetings, my pager [that tells you
how long ago] was giving me really strange and unlikely phone numbers.
I had a new Palm Pilot 0.0, I started putting them into the Find screen,
and Mike [Network Chief] in San Francisco at Wells Fargo came up.
Turned out, wellsfargo.com had disappeared from the I'net [generally a
bad day if you're a worldwide banker]. My employer had recently
purchased Network Solutions Inc., at that time the only I'net domain
registrar and updater of the DNS network, and as luck would have it, one
of my colleagues happened to be in N. VA at NS. I called him, and they
fixed it with that night's update. Took 2 days to propagate around the
planet.
I doubt it's your ISP. Give it a little time before blaming them.
