I can't access Lot from home!!

Same here. Couldn't get on all weekend, but could from work. And I'm on Earthlink Time Warner Cable. What's up? Was it down, or just a cable issue?

Nope. I have DSL.

Edited to add: I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one having this problem!

I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

If that's true, I'd be pretty pissed if I were a customer.

JW- I hope you can get it sorted out!

I got a "The page you are looking for cannot be found" error page, not a redirect to another website. And I could access all the other websites I visit. So I don't think that's it.

I'll see if I can access it tonight from home.

I even used my history to link to pages on TLoT I had previously viewed from home successfully. I assumed it was a server problem on TLoT's end.

Any news if that is true?

Anyone??

Class??

This was my exact problem. And I tried the links from my history as well. No dice. And it didn't happen with any other site I was on all weekend.

It does show that Earthlink was making significant changes to it's DNS system. I could certainly see that resulting in spurious DNS errors like the unavailability of LOT.

If you get home and you still cannot reach Lot try bypassing DNS (as a test) by entering: 216.227.217.215 into yours browsers address bar.

Note: This will NOT get you to LoT but it should get to to their host site (lunapages.com). If you get that far then it's a DNS issue and we can fix it by creating a static DNS map for you, if not then something else is a play here.

Hopefully by now it's a non-issue for you.

Thanks, I'll try that and let you know, though it may be tomorrow at work.....

I tried entering a direct IP (not sure if it was the same one, i looked it up on SamSpade) this weekend, got the same error.
