[H]ardNews 4th Edition

Some of you have had some page load issues here over the last week. We knew we had a problem and we fixed it quickly but many of you still have load issues. We lost one of our webservers (dunno where Steve put it still) and that IP address was no longer good. Problem is that many of you are still looking for an IP that is not currently valid so it takes your browser (most likely IE) a moment to figure out that IP is not good and go look for one. Your IE browser caches IP addresses to make for quicker browsing...only problem is that if an IP address changes, you might simply get a terrible load time or the browser will simply tell you that the page does not exist. Here is a quick fix for 2000 and XP users.

Open a command prompt window and type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes. This will, you guessed it, flush your cached DNS addresses. This is probably not a bad thing to do on a regular basis as well.
