I am reposting my response as a separate item as it was too difficult to find in the chain.


The issue here is that DNS has not propagated to the ISP you are using. You can see this in the traceroute that was in one of the previous comments. It shows attempts to access 206.117.18.x which are the old IP addresses. The original test we made last week showed it took 5 minutes to propagate. Today its taking considerably longer. I have no explanation for that. Most DNS servers should have retried and obtained the new DNS values after 20 minutes. Clearly they are not following the refresh times we published.

To check on the DNS status enter the following command into either Command LIne (windows) or Terminal (Mac):

dig www.lafn.org

If you get 206.117.18.8 then the DNS change has not reached you. If you get 75.101.116.66 then the DNS update has completed for you. If you still can't access mail etc., then you will need to restart routers or computers.

Comments:
Helpful but I have no idea where to enter a command line. ?
