Hi,

yesterday I was not able to visit msfn.org. What was wrong?

DNS issues, but msfn.org was not the only one affected. Different other sites have been down too, such as channel9.msdn.com, amazon.com, etc..

FWIW, I had a "chat" with RR about being intermittently disconnected and their "final solution" was to rewire my really-basic-network, i.e. hook the modem to NIC1, hook the router to NIC2, then turn on ICS. I had indicated that I had this problem for several days and that a ping to the gateway-IP seemed to clear it (even though sometimes packets were lost). Magically, yesterday the problem "went away" (no re-wire). Apparently, a lot more was going on than what they knew about. Kind of noticed a lot of "hits" in my router log during that time as well. Odd...
