For some reason everyone in the world can access TBB except me. It works at work and i can see it's been an active place, I'm jus tleft out in the cold. :cry:

You're lucky.

Spare a thought for Galak, you can't access here from home or work.

Has everybody tried clearing their cache at all? The main issue I found when it moved was the initial directory stayed at /phpBB instead of changing to /phpBB2 and as the first directory didn't exist you were screwed.

Cleared everything. Cache, history, temp internet files... ad infinitum.

Added a DNS host address or something to my network information and, VIOLA! It works again.

Screwy but I'm happy. Can anyone tell me why it worked and what a DNS is?

DNS = Domain Name System. Basically its the way TCP/IP works on the Internet. You type in a URL such as www.talkbloodbowl.com and this is converted to an IP Address which the server resides at. DNS is used so that you don't need to type in the IP Address everytime to visit a site. Afterall how often do you type in www.google.com or www.microsoft.com etc. I beat you don't know of WANT to know the IP addresses for these. Its just a computer version of Yellow Pages for The Net

I have this problem (yes I cleared out everything) has everyone found a solution to this? Works fine at work, but at home I get the famous internet "page not found."
