Please read the post I just made, it is not down, it just looks down because your PC is going to the wrong server.

still nothing wont even connect I flushed dns and nothing

[Akkadius]

moestaverne.com should be resolving to the following, (88.198.230.177):

C:\Users\Administrator>ping moestaverne.com

I flushed dns as you asked, it didn't help. I saw something (while using google to look for an idea) about periodic downtime on moestaverne due to server switching?

No need to reinstall anything, this is strictly a DNS problem.

DNS hasn't updated on all servers in the world, Google's servers are even pointing to the wrong one.

However, you can manually set your DNS server as 64.90.65.2 on your network interface. The following article shows you how to do that:

http://support.simpledns.com/KB/a72/...ns-server.aspx

Things should start to work for you again, after all of the servers in the world update you should be able to use your original server again.

EDIT: Updated article, helps if I read it all the way through

Akkadius, I appreciate you trying to help out here, but still nothing when following your directions to change my DNS.

I suppose I'll wait until things catch up, like you said.
