Thanks - it appears that the problem is DNS servers which don't know about me. I'll report this to my ISP Monday.
Question - shouldn't anyone anywhere be able to get to the site using the 66.44.210.252 .... or does that have to go thru dns also?
Not necessarily. Shared hosting usually doesn't allocate one net-wide ip to each domain. RDS, for instance, could not be accessed by their ip. I don't know if that is still the case, i have not tried. Some hosts no longer offer dedicated ip, i have had domains with and without the dedicated ip.
Also, there's a minimum of two major dns tables: with and without "www". At one time, http://blah" was only for ip, then "www" came along and allowed words, and that feature was back propogated to the "http://blah". Today, you can have different, same, or missing entries in each table. This doesn't even get to the each table being hosted by your favorite dns server. Or your host of the domain's email, irc, etc services.
Personally, i find "www" a waste of time, and i wonder about the intelligence of tv ads that waste money/time saying "www" over and over.
Odd that euphorum added an extra "http" to the urls i gave earlier.
