Both of my home pc's refuse to see the site. I get an error saying it can't be found. basially an IE 404 error.

I'm running windows XP with sp2. I have no idea what the probleem is.

Do a search here for "host file", as there's a problem that some people have.

Open the file

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

with notepad (or other text editor).

At the bottom of the file add the following line:

Code: Select all

81.168.2.123    www.talkbloodbowl.com

The problem is something to do with the DNS propagation of the domain (i.e. your ISP is not correctly identifying the location of tbb).
