I had that same thing occur while trying to post last week...none of the computers on the home network could connect. Then it just came back. I changed DNS servers and a day later the site came back. I still suspect the OpenDNS as the issue, I should of flushed the DNS cache after changing.

It's working now... I know how to turn my computer on and off and post pictures and video's, WTF is a DNS server and how would you change it?

Domain name server. Basically it's a 4 number value address like an IP address that network packets are routed through. Sorry, I can't really translate tech talk into something everyone can understand.

DNS translates human speak "www.steelcitystangs.com" to internet speak, like 69.167.139.69.

Since you didn't know what it was, chances are you're just using the settings your Internet provider gave you. Those should be safe. I like to be crazy, so I use something different.

Just got that same message trying to reply.
