Just because you can't reach the web site doesn't automatically mean that it's down. There are many reasons why a site may be reachable at some times and unreachable at others. Your ISP may have much reduced connectivity to the rest of the world - here in SA, the international lines may go down. Or, the normal route to the web site may be interrupted somewhere along the path. I see one person complained of a DNS error, which generally means that his ISP couldn't translate the name of the site into an IP address. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
