[9fans] Having trouble connecting to sources

2014-07-07 Thread Shane Morris
Hi 9fans, I seem to be having trouble connecting to the sources server. My Plan 9 VM tells me timeout and Mac9P tells me no permission. I was able to access fine the other morning by Mac9P. Is there an outage at the moment, or have I botched something in my config? Many thanks! Shane.
