Thanks Scott;
With going onto the DNSStuff site, and finding out that the
ns3.charter.com was down,
I called up Charter, and spoke with them about it, And someone there
screwed up and remove the Reverse Lookup on my IP Address.
They are fixing it now, and should have it up and running within the next
couple of hours.
Thank you
*******
Now trying to figure out how come I cannot send & Receive mail , hooked into
my network. On either
Outlook or Mozilla Mail ???
This all happened the same time with everything else going down.
Oh-well, something else o play around with.
