I can't track down the emails right now, but I believe it was either postmaster@freebsd.org or freebsd-questions-owner@ who helped me figure out that my ISP had DNS issues. With his help I emailed my ISP support line and they fixed their problem (I was surprised!) So you should probably start by emailing one of the address I listed to see if they can help you track down your problem. HTH, Micah
