My vista machine _always_ get a connection timeout trying to load _any_ page from [vassalengine.org](http://vassalengine.org). I am having no prob with my linux machine getting to the website. This is over the past couple days. Both machines are using Mozilla Firefox. The Vista machine can browse to any other site I have tried on the internet. Vista machine has NAV, I can see the report of 85 bytes or so being exchanged and there are no security flags being raised or anything. ??? ---

I use XP with SeaMonkey. This is the first time I’ve been able to connect to the website, forum or Vassal game server since Wednesday. Apparently there was a glitch somewhere. ---

This has been identified as a DNS nameserver problem at the hosting ISP and is being worked on. It is also affecting connections to the live game server from within VASSAL. rk Post generated using Mail2Forum ([mail2forum.com](http://www.mail2forum.com)) ---

Seems certain modules work while others do not. Particularly the V40k mod works while the Warmachine/Hordes one will not. Currently getting nothing via my machine now. ---

I can’t get to the web site at all. So far as I can see, the problem is that out host’s five nameservers don’t agree with each other about what our site’s IP address is. – J. * * * Messages mailing list [Messages@forums.vassalengine.org](mailto:Messages@forums.vassalengine.org) [forums.vassalengine.org/mailman/ … engine.org](http://forums.vassalengine.org/mailman/listinfo/messages_forums.vassalengine.org) Post generated using Mail2Forum ([mail2forum.com](http://www.mail2forum.com)) ---

Apparently there was a glitch somewhere. It’s a DNS issue with our hosting company. I am not impressed with them. Fortunately, I don’t need to be impressed with them for too much longer, as we’ll be moving elsehost once 3.1.0 is released. – J. * * * Messages mailing list [Messages@forums.vassalengine.org](mailto:Messages@forums.vassalengine.org) [forums.vassalengine.org/mailman/ … engine.org](http://forums.vassalengine.org/mailman/listinfo/messages_forums.vassalengine.org) Post generated using Mail2Forum ([mail2forum.com](http://www.mail2forum.com))
