Can anyone Stateside clarify what has happened to missing geomagnetic
info sites
www.swpc.noaa.gov and www.swpc.noaa.gov which are coming up
"Sorry, the website cannot be found."
Any help appreciated.
This is an occasional problem here also Barry. I check the site
fairly regularly, but often get this message the first time round. A
refresh of the browser usually brings it back (but not always).
Using Firefox 4.0.1 here, I should check with other browsers maybe.
I have run into this in the past, and it's almost always an issue with
the Domain Name Server (DNS) and not the browser itself. In Windows
the DNS can be added or changed quite simply. I use a common one with
an IP address of 4.2.2.1 which usually corrects something you know
exists but the browser can't find. Contact me off list if you need
help adding it.

I've been using Open DNS <http://www.opendns.com/> for a while and never
had a problem with it.
They have servers in London, Frankfurt, Singapore and Amsterdam for
those across the pond. Addresses are resolved about as quickly as my
local provider with the "unable to resolve DNS" error almost unknown.
It's free for home users and I've never gotten any Spam from them.
I like it because there are children who visit and I can block "adult
content", phishing, botnet and malware sites at the router. It also has
simple to understand instructions of how to set it up.
I do not have any financial interest in Open DNS, just passing this on
because I think it's a good product.
