It's working now...must have been a temporary server issue. Maybe the squirells that power their server got out of the wheel or something ; )

still down, I use that one out of habit, but know plenty more. I guess nobody else is getting what I pasted ?

I used sportsline all night to watch baseball scores with no problems.

The link in post #1 gets me that error page. What could this problem be ?

That's really strange...I tried the link as you posted it and it works fine for me. My best guess is that they've got multiple redundant servers in multiple geographic locations and for whatever reason the one you're being routed to isn't working. I tried the link, both in Internet Explorer and Firefox, with and without the http: on front and it worked every time.

The only reason I have the hunch about the servers in different geographic locations is I remember reading an article about it in some computer magazine. Otherwise I'm clueless...

Did you try clearing your Internet history and cache? Maybe your computer keeps throwing up a cached error page?

I'm clueless...since you're posting here I assume you're accessing other websites OK. For now, I'm going to stick with my guess about the load balancing routing you to a server that's not working for one reason or another. That's the sort of thing that should resolve on its own. If it doesn't, I'll try to come up with some other ideas ; )
