First time round I thought the DNS was out because I couldn't ping the IP address of the server, but this time I realised that I couldn't ping any of the DNS addresses I had. >If so this would not be a DNS failure but sounds more like a >routing problem.

Maybe they update user accounts on a monthly basis and it is not a >transparent process, who knows. Remember - now been using 2 ISP (+Freeserve as a test) and none worked. The only thought in my mind was the fact that 27 is the biggest positive number for a signed 5-bit binary word (-28 to +27 if I remember correctly) but this seemed a little far fetched. >MC Ben _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
