The IP address for MiceChat.

Rather than typing "http://www.micechat.com" in your browser address bar type "69.16.243.148" and see if that works. Every domain on the internet is actually represented by a number like that. The domain names we are all familiar with is just an added layer so that we can actually remember them.

The lazy IT person will just block the textual domain name without blocking the actual IP address. Kind of like if your phone system was set up so you couldn't call 1-800-FLOWERS but you could still call 1-800-356-9377.
