Anyone having problems accessing FSU?

I'm being re-directed to some other website when I try to access FSU
Are any of you having this problem?

Hi:

No ... I am not having similar troubles.
You might want to do a little test to see what's going on.

From a Windows machine (I assume that's what you have)

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Command Prompt (or sometimes you'll see it as MS-DOS, depending on how old your operating system is).

In the new window which comes up:

C:\>nslookup (nslookup is what you type at the c:\> prompt)

Default Server: ns.your-isp.com
Address: ip address of server above

> set type=a (when the chevron prompt comes up, you type in set type=a)

when the chevron prompt returns, type in www.fsuniverse.net

> www.fsuniverse.net

Server: ns.your-isp.com
Address: ip address of server above

Name: fsuniverse.net
Address: 64.246.23.79
Aliases: www.fsuniverse.net

This is what should come up. If you get a different answer, then the local DNS server for your ISP has bad data for some reason. If you get this answer, but still can't get to FSU by name (i.e. www.fsuniverse.net), type in the IP address on the URL line, and you will get to the site.

Hope that helps.
