Open an explorer window, i.e. a file browser. Type this in the location bar:

Code:

\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\

Then take a look at Using the Windows Hosts File, under "Format of Hosts File". What you need is a file that is simply called "hosts". Nothing else. If there is a hosts.sam but no hosts, copy hosts.sam to hosts.

Then right click, and "open with" and choose an editor / notepad / whatever, but not Word.

Add the following two lines at the end of the file:

Code:

69.16.253.67 straightrazorplace.com
69.16.253.67 www.straightrazorplace.com

Mac OS X
A walkthrough: How to edit the hosts file in Mac OS X – Leopard « Decoding the Web

Or open terminal.app and issue the following commands:

Code:

sudo su -
echo "69.16.253.67 straightrazorplace.com www.straightrazorplace.com" >> /private/etc/hosts
dscacheutil -flushcache

Unix

Code:

sudo su -
echo "69.16.253.67 straightrazorplace.com www.straightrazorplace.com" >> /etc/hosts

Now can you explain that in idiot speak?

Things are still a bit flaky, so I've gone ahead and done this while I can get the info!

I feel like i've got withdrawal symptoms...

The first hour of the outage was the worst. Everything after that was merely unbearable.

The shakes are starting to subside, but it'll take me a while to recover.

How much is that insurance?

I emailed Mark this morning to make sure it wasn't just me lol, I'm not sure what time it went down yesterday, but I've just been able to get on again.

ah well

At least i feel better knowing that it wasn't just me suffering! It's a sad state of affairs when i can walk past my stunning wife without giving her a glance, but every time i passed the pc i had to click to see if i had access again yet!
I'm still a bit upset about the casino money though!

Have fun brother

Thanks Glen, you're a gentleman!
I'm not sure they have the power to put it right. An age ago i posted about the dealer being a thief though & they resolved that. I never found out what happened to that b*stard. He just disappeared.
