For about the past 2 weeks I've had intermittant problems connecting to the site. Sometimes I get a message from my ISP:
Why Am I Here? You entered an unknown web address that was used to present site suggestions that you may find useful. Clicking any of these suggestions provides you with search results, which may include relevant sponsored links.
Usually if I keep opening a NEW Internet window, after a few tries I'm able to connect. Anyone else with similar problems?

I had the same problem, but as a temporary solution I added takingflight to my hosts file

72.52.195.123 takingflight.us www.takingflight.us

On Unix-like systems it is the /etc/hosts file; for windows it is \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts You can edit this file with a text editor (notepad).

Note: the real problem lies with the watersweb name servers:
$ dig +norecurse www.takingflight.us @ns2.watersweb.net

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> +norecurse www.takingflight.us @ns2.watersweb.net

Note: the real problem lies with the watersweb name servers:
Has anyone (Scott, Mark?) contacted Watersweb about this problem? I continue to have difficulty connecting. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts before I'll get the site. I assume I'm not the only one, and that others may just give up. :confused:

This should now be resolved. I updated our name servers at our domain host to reflect the new information.

Thanks, Scott! Connections are 100% for me now. :D
