Here's what I posted on the AT&T DSL Newsgroup:
.............. begin quote .......
While the site is still not working, I will admit to being impressed that someone (sat evening) just
called again on this issue.
She suggested that the dns for the site has changed (to that lycos subdivision) and that the AT&T
dsl dns tables that keep track of url addresses and resolve them has not yet updated and caught the
new address. (hmm, did I forget to ask her something...) That update does not occur daily from what
I understand but periodically. When it does check the angelfire.com, it will find it is now a new
dns and should resolve.
She further suggested that _YOU_ official AT&T-Newsgroup-Support-types use T1 lines or some such
and that they resolve differently and probably has the updated dsn for the site which is why you
get there.
But what I may have forgotten to ask - some users here but not the OFFICIAL SUPPORT appear to
be able to get there??? Or do you other folks also have a T1 and not just plain, ordinary
(sniff) dsl???
She suggested waiting a week or so and then she mentioned updating programs on my computer to
further track things if it is not rectified by then.
She also said the reason a modem works is that probably both CIS and AT&T Worldnet (dialup) probably
have updated their servers' tables on a different schedule.
We shall see..........

So it may just be a matter of time - apparently the site is now angelfire.lycos.com........ which
may explain why it needs a "new address" that servers have to update to find.

home until Thursday night. I won't have a laptop with me, and I doubt I'll be able to access a
computer while I'm there to pick up messages so...
I'll try to update the website again Friday evening, and then that will be it until the following
Friday. Sorry!
Also, is anyone still having trouble accessing the website? If you are, please send me an email and
let me know what browser (including version) and ISP you're using - make sure to put HHH or NYNY in
the subject line as my spam filter will definitely be on for while I'm away. I'm trying to figure
out why some people are having trouble accessing the website and not others. If you're getting any
specific errors (other than just not being able to connect) please also include that information in
the email.
Thanks,
