<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
A clarification here. The domain dectalk.com is still an actively
registered domain, and expires sometime in November. However, it
doesn't currently point to any IP address. For those of you who
may not know what this means, imagine the domain name system as a
giant phone book. When you want to go somewhere like google.com or
amazon.com, your computer opens the phone book and looks up the
phone number or, in this case, Internet address for that site,
then connects to that address. Only, there's no entry in the giant
phone book for dectalk.com, so your computer has no idea how to
contact the site.<br>
<br>
The domain is handled by Dreamhost, so it may be that some
Dreamhost nameserver is down, and that's what's causing the name
lookup failure.<br>
