There seems to be a little issue when connecting to the forum by using the ip address as opposed to the url domain name.

For some people using the 84.xx.xxx whatever the number was is the only way they could access the forum, the amiaworld.net would never connect.

Did anyone else get this problem? Any ways to get around it? I write on behalf of those that have asked in MSN and can't get onto the forums.

Your local ISP needs to update its DNS server, or your network admin at your work/school etc.. needs clear the DNS cache on your computer/router/network.

I would buy that if it werent for the fact I know a few other people who are having the same issue. Though I am far from technically minded.

I am glad it was not something more serious. You are most welcome.
