Double check the authorative nameservers for the domain and what they reply with. If they respond with the same answer, edit your domain files. I'm assuming you already did that however. Your localhost dns probably uses another dns server (from your ISP) that returns this IP address on anything that doesn't exist. Browsing to the address yields a page that says the site is not available. Your isp is helpfully aiding your webbrowsing experience by letting you know something that your browser usually tells you, but ofcourse, your isp does it prettier and in their own house-style. You should praise and thank your isp for their consideration. ;) How to fix it: complain to your isp or stop using their (dns) service. Ciao, -- Ariane
