home page failure

[Guest]

Whilst downloading my home page (www.peanuts.com) I inadvertently asked for
my cookies to be removed - at the same time. Now I cannot get access to the
page at all. The error is ieframe, dnserror. Is there an easy way out of
that?

I can't get to the page either so I doubt your "Cookies" deletion is
anything to do with the problem, I'll try again when I get to work if I
get time.

I can't get to it either, so I doubt anything you did caused the problem.
And I certainly wouldn't go to an earlier restore point as someone else
suggested.

No problem for me getting to the page.

More than likely it is some type of DNS error.
The site's DNS record could have changed and
it hasn't propagated to the DNS server you are
using.

In addition to the local DNS server your ISP assigns,
you could use a backup DNS server from OpenDNS.

208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220

Or, look into Treewalk.

Of course, by the time I finished typing this post
and you read it, you'll be able to access the page.

Site is back up and working and I suspect access is available to you now.

Thank you all; Michael was right, the site came up again spontaneously. I
might add that I refuse to down load Adobe Flash player which might have
complicated things. If so Peanuts.com might understand that ordinarily
computers can only be used with a morning dose of Snoopy philosophy; the
flash ball play is quite intrusive. db

Sometimes, websites just go down. It could have been one of several
different reasons... maintenance, a server crash, a DNS problem,
or even a DOS attack. I don't believe not having the Flash Player
was your problem. I must say, not having the Flash player installed
may cripple your internet experience.... more and more sites are using
Flash. I do think some sites can try to do too much with Flash, especially
the Flash only sites. But, Flash can be cool and add things to a site that
XHTML can't.

It's not Flash that's a problem but Adobe Acrobat that's a bloated pain
in the backside. Foxit reader beats the heck out of it.
