I can access it fine, but that's no surprise, seeing as the server is several inches away from me.

It's up for me.
Remember that if you have trouble with
http://www.greatring.org
Try
http://hades.mercuric.net/outlands/

Or vice versa ;)

Odd. I was just at school and was accessing it alright, but am getting the same "hades.mercuric.net could not be found. Please check the name and try again." message. Got it for both of the above links actually. Oh well. I've gotta update to Windows XP Pro, from 98 SE. So we'll see what happens then.

Ok I tried the other url and it was working. Now, for some reason, both aren't working. Not sure what's up; whether it's my comp or the site.

I still havn't had an issue with it, however maybe the ip changed and it's cached somehow...?

As a test try clicking here

I haven't had any problems with it course, I do clean out my cache regularly.

If that works then you have an issue with your cache or something causing the url not to be translated to the proper ip address.. might be dns propagation or something. That link will only work for as long as Zebranky's ip doesn't change.

My IP rarely changes, and it can't do that without a reboot (or at least renewing the IP address). The system hasn't rebooted in 136 days. You can do the math. ;)

Besides that, I'm absolutely certain the IP hasn't changed...
