O.P. cant connect to forum
it seems that i cant connect to the forums or the plus! website directly today. i either have to use tor or a proxy. i checked the hosts file and nothing about msghelp/plus.net. i dont remember doing anything that would effect the connection. neither ff/ie work. other pc down so cant check anywhere else. this is quite annoying and i would like to have it fixed :sad:

- i'm using opendns, but i dont think it would effect it.
- going directly to the ip (64.62.180.102) doesnt work either
- ff just says unable to establish connection, not timing out or anything

Try using the IP address directly. If that works, it's a DNS problem. :p

http://64.62.180.102/

Edit: Oh, didn't see your edit. Blah. ¬¬
