Sorry if this classes as forum abuse but didn't know where else to post this...

Over-Clock.co.uk is currently down to UK Surfers... don't know if it applies to ppl in the states or elsewhere in Europe, perhaps you can check for me! Anyways, this is a DNS issue, and at the moment the only solution is to manually add our server's IP into your hosts file...

so, you need to go to:

XP Users - c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Win9x - c:\windows\

open the file called HOSTS (no extension) in Notepad, then add the following two lines to it and save it...

63.251.213.14 over-clock.co.uk
63.251.213.14 www.over-clock.co.uk

Effectively this is telling your pc that for this domain name it shouldn't bother looking on the net's or your ISPs DNS Servers for our IPaddress, instead it'll use the one you've just given it...

In the meantime, we are unable to retrieve any e-mail whatsoever, addressed to anything @over-clock.co.uk

Anyone wanting to contact me can get me thru marcibabes@hotmail.com

We can still process orders... just!!
Now, in the meantime if anyone from a DNS Background can find me the IP address for mail.over-clock.co.uk I'd be incredibly greatful!!
