What happened to the web site?

Post by PaulF » Sun Feb 24, 2008 7:01 pm

For a couple of days I could not connect to www.rs246.com. I kept getting directed to some web site for a company selling web addresses. Did anybody else have this problem or have I got a dud computer.

DNS issues in the "interwebthingy".... can get round it by omitting 'www' from the URL (i.e. just type http://rs246.com)

DNS servers translate domain names into IP addresses (DNS = Domain Name System. IP address = Internet Protocol address, i.e. a dotted decimal representation of a 32 bit IPv4 binary address, e.g. 193.168.100.3) ...the address bar in your web-browser is where you type the target URL (Uniform Resource Locator) e.g. http://www.manbeingbummedbyahorse.com ...

The "interwebthingy" is a collection of AS's (Autonomous Systems), or "networks", that are interconnected - hence: "the internet".

Geek-mode off. :wink:

This is way too technical for me. I recognise horses and man being b*mmed, but the URL, DMS, ABC, 123 are too much. At least everything appears to be up and running again.
