Re: It could be BooTrib under hostile ... (none / 1)

Hm. The IP address changed. Maybe your firefox is caching it strangely. Give it a day or two to see if it recovers, assuming using Safari isn't a problem for you.

Safari is fine, though of course without TribExt. But shouldn't i be able to reach the new IP address anyway, especially as i've just cleared the cache twice?

I'd have thought so, but maybe there's something funny happening - I've seen ISPs screw with timeouts on such things.

After I said the above, I then had a half hour ... (none / 1)

... random trouble getting into various sites with Firefox on Windows downstairs ... but when I moved upstairs, no problems with Firefox (well, technically Iceweasel) on Linux.

So, not a clue. Maybe one of those random internet storms, delaying traffic, and the time-out defaults are set differently for IE and Firefox.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
