The shell server doesn't seem to like my password. I can collect mail and log into the FTP with that password, but when I try and use the java SSH client @ http://shell.vectorstar.net it claims the password is wrong. Is there any admins which can explain this pls? Stuart.

Wouldn't it also be cool if the users started changing their underwear?

Stevie, your friends probably use an ISP that has some kind of weird caching DNS server setup. Give it a couple of days to play the DNS game and everything should be fine.

O.K. Frank I'll wait I have also found out that I seem to be the only one at the moment who can visit my site which is funny because a couple of days ago I was getting visitors. Why do you think my mailbox isn't working?

Your email address is splovell@vectorstar.net. Your web domain is stevessite.vectorstar.net. They are not related. You cannot receive email at stevessite@vectorstar.net because that is not your email address.

I can't speak for the problems your friends are having. If they're using AOL, well, good luck is all I can say. AOL is a mess.

It's a mess... just like the underwear of the users that should be changed.

Thanks I'll try sending mail to splovell@vectostar.net instead. Maybe it's aol I don't know but somebody with Internet Explorer got through before but can't go there now and somebody with aol can go there.
