See what the IP address its attempting to ping when u ping the .com. its possib;e that an old DNS zonefile for sxoc.com is stored on a DNS server/resolver somewhere. U got the IP hard wired into ur PC/Server/router or anything?

[jim potter]

right just pinged sxoc.com nd it reply, which it never used to. so any more ides


btw the computer isnt plugged into a router or anything

just the phoneliine and thats it

[Jim]

what ip address did you get when you pinged it?

I might be being thick here (not for the first time :wack: ) but why not just use the .co.uk address? :confused:

He's probably trying to be all international ;)

Same for me on NTL cable. The problem with not being able to get the .com version is if someone attatches an image and then link to it in a message, it puts the link as sxoc.com which means that all the pics have to be opened separately. Not really bothered me much so I didn't say anything.

Ah, good point - I must admit to having a certain liking for the international aspect of the boards. :nod:

That's the same I.P that I ping on SXOC.com - and I can access it fine.

Odd.
