Hi All,

Not sure whether other people are having problems getting on but it looks like it might be a dns issue, (Possibly the provider altering DNS settings and MX records).

To resolve it, all I had to do is flush the DNS cache on my machine, to do this open a CMD box on your machine.

Type in CMD under start and run and then ENTER.

This should display a Black Dos box.

Then type:- ipconfig /flushdns.

Press Enter.

This should resolve the problem.

I didn't have any issues but for anyone running Mac OS X 10.5.1 or above, to flush you DNS go to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and type:

Code:
dscacheutil -flushcache

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

As you can see, the Terminal does not give any feedback that the action has been performed, unlike windows, but it does work all the same.

For anyone using 10.5 or earlier, the steps are the same, however the command is:

Code:
lookupd -flushcache

If you try and use the above on later versions of OS X you will revieve an error:

-bash: lookupd: command not found
