Technical Support / Xepher.net domain not found?

Thanks for the assistance!

It turned out that it WAS the DNS that my local connection defaults to, and once I got access to another that had the full routing tables, no more problems.  
I'm not sure why it didn't work the first time, but that may just have been my distro being slow to switch to using the DNS that I'd put in, instead of the one that was setup with DHCP.

Thanks again, and thanks for hosting so many great artists here!

This may not be an issue from your end, but I can't find any of the xepher.net hosted sites, and can only access the main page by using the IP address as trace-routed from another ISP, courtesy of a friend.  
I've tried to find out what is happening at my end, but attempting to traceroute back to xepher.net from this end immediately fails, "unable to resolve target system name xepher.net"

I suspect that it might be an issue with the DNS here playing stupid games, but attempting to re-route through another DNS that has full routing tables seems to be doing nothing.

Thanks for any insight, and feel free to tell me off if there is some info that I should provide that I've forgotten.
