Pexicom seems to have some errors. They are up and running, but unable to resolve many of the other DNS servers.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Looks like I'm in worse shape than most of you. I cannot get on even using the IP address.

Hmm. Got an idea... I'll let you know.

******

Okay, that didn't work. I have another idea but I'll need some help.
Is there anything I can add to the IP address that will take me directly to the text Version? Thanks in advance.

Using the IP address and the web interface to download and then upload, I'm in business. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Gotta love the flexibility of PBW! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

As others have said, the DNS wasn't working for my browser to connect via seiv.pbw.cc, and I'm not getting the e-mails from PBW ... possibly due to DNS issues coming from PBW?

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Another anomaly:

Just received a turn from my Adversary game. The game file was the same name as the Last game file I received. However, though all the file sizes were the exact same as before, the turn was a different turn since I received a message I had not received the turn before. So, THAT's weird!

While playing with you tonight, geo, every other turn had the wrong file name (on the zip) though each actual turn was different.

And, as you stated earlier, some people are receiving emailed turns while others have to download from the site (like I did with you).

Go figure!

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

PBW works normally again. I have just uploaded two turns and found no problems.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

PBW's DNS servers are all on the same subnet, and hold a single MX record. If the subnet could not be reached, then the name resolution would fail and the mail would stop. When the MX records came back on line, some Cached mail would be delivered.
