Looks like Marc had some troubles with the bill last month. Let's hope he can get simracing.com back online. ::( In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (Jonathan Bishop) wrote: > I went to check The Sim Project (http://www.simracing.com) today, and > it's gone!

Good to know. Might be a DNS problem somewhere. Can someone look up the IP for those of us who are having problems? Thanks, Jonathan On Fri, 03 Nov 2000 18:38:09 GMT, Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote:

There is definitely a problem at CWI Hosting, the company which is hosting simracing.com and my site. My site has not gone away; it's temporarily inaccessible to some computers due to a problem at CWI Hosting. I think it's a DNS problem, and have been digging around trying to get to the bottom of it. Bizarrely, I can get to simracing.com from two of five computers I've tried, and not the other three. Tonight I sent Marc Nelson (who owns simracing.com and hosts my site) some routing table info from these computers. There are definitely some anomalies in these tables. I know he's working on the problem with CWI Hosting so maybe this stuff will help. We both hope the problem gets resolved soon! I'll post something here as soon as it's fixed or I have a workaround. Alison PS. I'm sorry I didn't know about this sooner. Nate and I were at Lime Rock with the Cobra this weekend, and I got home to a mailbox stuffed with emails wondering why my site had gone away (it hasn't; it's just hiding). The Cobra was a blast! We got new race tires, upgraded the brakes, and got a new seat since we last ran at Loudon. It's much easier to drive now and a lot more fun. Brutal acceleration, good handling, solid braking, and that wonderful sound! I love that car! Hmm. Let's see ... do you think we could interest Dave Kaemmer in doing a "Sports Car Legends" sim so everyone here could try a Cobra at Lime Rock, or Riverside, or maybe The Ring? Or maybe the West brothers will put a Cobra into WSC. Waddya think?

cobra, damn fine idea. it's funny, (well, maybe) but my roommate pointed out a cobra here in little rock that i'd completely missed. she said, isn't that what alison's driving? so thrill of seeing a cobra here and a slant eyed look at the alison fan beside me, didn't know she was keeping up with ya! good luck and all that jazz!
