Howdy, need some help here ! i seem to have trouble a lot getting into Tom Coyote where i take classes to do logs !! So i was told to try typing nslookup www.tomcoyote.org at the command prompt!! did that & got this :
Can't find server name for
address 212.97.132.112: timed out
server : un-known
address : 212.97.132.112
dns request timed out.
time out was 2 seconds.
dns request timed out.
time out was 2 seconds.
*** request to un-known timed out.

so somebody said that 2 seconds is too short, try changeing that !

first questionis can you get to any tomcoyote.org pages?

If so , the problem may be that they have cleaned out the classroom list again and you got removed. You will have to contact tom or gal or one of the teachers to get added back.


I get a sam spade for the above as forums.tomcoyote.org = [ 70.84.70.85 ]


In fact if you go to http://70.84.70.85/ it will get you there.



212.97.132.112 = [ ws12.surf-town.net ]

Looks to me like you may have a host file redirect added by a hijacker yourself. Double check your host file to make sure there is not a redirect there for tom coyote.
