[Elecraft] Fios and Elecraft Website Access

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

We've checked here and nothing appears wrong with the actual server for the 
Elecraft web site. We've checked it here via multiple providers (ATT, Verizon 4G 
cellular, ATT optical). All those appear to access it OK.

It appears the problem resides at Verizon (and possibly others) with their 
network DNS servers. There -was- a short optical fiber outage mid-last week 
upstream of the ISP that hosts our Elecraft website. Its possible that the 
network re-routing required when this was fixed was not properly updated by 
Verizon on their servers and possibly other network routing servers.

Also note- you can access our web page via two addresses:
www.elecraft.com    and
elecraft.com
Both end up at the same place.

One additional thought:
If you are still having problems, you may need to flush the local DNS cache of 
old internet routing records on your PC. This can be done easily via the command 
window in Windows.

 From the program menu (icon on the lower left corner of the windows screen) 
chose 'run' and then enter 'command' as the program to run and press enter. This 
will bring up a dos command window.

 From the command prompt in that window type:   ipconfig /flushdns
Then press the enter key.
Then type: exit   followed by the enter key to close the window.

Lastly, close and re-load your browser and reload the page.

Please let us know if either of the elecraft webpage addresses above still fail 
to work.
