Another step further away from WHS

@ Ian, the code/url/img thingy is fudgered again

Hi Craig.

I would tend to agree with you, it seem's like a DNS issue.

Have look at this page:

It tells you how to set up DNS, if you haven't already!

Hi Craig. Just a thought, have you rebooted your router since changing your server ip addy?, sometimes a router may allocate that particular ip to something else.
