Here are a couple of tips for people still getting the old page.
First, if you are using a router, unplug it for 10 seconds and plug it back in. Most routers cache addresses.
Then if you are running windows XP or 2000 (unsure if it will work in Vista), click the start button, go to run and type in "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quote marks and click ok. This will nuke the local windows address cache.
Last but not least, Firefox ALSO caches addresses, however they clear out after about 5 minutes so you just need some patience there.
If that doesn't work, I can offer a more drastic measure, HOWEVER you are mucking about in your system.
If and only if nothing above works and you are minutes away from sinking into an Infi-deprivation induced coma you can do this:
Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and add these two lines to the bottom of it:
If you run linux, you can add the two above lines to your hosts file as well.
You will still need to go through the last two steps in the first part for this to kick in.
Don't forget that you added those two lines to your hosts file! Remove them in a couple of days when things seem to be stable here so you don't end up with problems down the road if Skunk jumps to another server!
