3) tried typing 66.28.184.13 in browser address bar and website loaded up, however, if I type
www.projecteq.net in address bar or google projecteq and click on link it still sends me to that dns page not found error page. I guess I will just have to type in the ip address each time until my problem gets figured out lol. I have never had this problem and it baffles me.
