Did any of you have problems this morning with enworld.org?
I'm currently getting in here via the IP address directly, and based on a post via Michael Morris in Nothingland, he's having similar problems. are any of you here via bypassing www.enworld.org, or have you had no problems this morning?
Just trying to get a handle on what's wrong.
Thanks!

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

I'm sneaking in via the IP address (found it in a WHOIS) and about 10% of my functionality is cut off, but now that I'm in I'm doing pretty well. I wonder how many others had the problem, and what regions/providers it was limited to? I know Spoony (Michael) was having problems, but Piratecat just told me he hasn't seen any. And the people who are still having problems we still won't be hearing from.

I haven't had any problems, but then again, I just logged in a few minutes ago. What is the numerical IP address for EN World, anyway? Is there a general way of finding this number for other websites?

Kept having the system time out trying to connect this morning. All better now

leave off the "www" or "www2" - in this case, enworld.org

Good for me now, too - I hadn't noticed I had been using the www.enworld.org name now for a short while.

Had no problems, all morning, using the url, and I first checked the site about 9:15 or so EST. But you could get on using the IP. That would probably make it a DNS problem somewhere (and not a routing thing, since that would stop IP access too), but not everywhere... I wonder if there are DNS servers that are geographic, or if it just depends on what server your ISP subscribes to.
I had problems until about 10, and after that I was working on the php during which I restarted Apache several times. That might have knocked someone off if they requested a page at the right (or should I say wrong) moment.

I was on, overnight, between Sunday night and Monday morning, CST. While editing a post, I lost connection to ENWorld.org. I could Ping the IP, and get good times, but Tracert wouldn't recognize it, at all. This lasted many minutes (I'm guessing over half an hour), during which I retried, refreshed, sat and waited, Pinged, Treacerouted, waited some more, and tried numerous pages. Finally, I left. Sorry, I can't pin down the time, anymore.

I suspect it was a DNS problem. Me no know.
a few sites i visit still have the old cyberstreet url link. so i went to them yesterday morning and got the front page without issue using the cyberstreet addy. but when i clicked on the message board forum or review section using the front page. it came back unavailable.
it wasn't until around 10am EST that i finally could get into the message boards yesterday.
