Seems that 85239.com is having DNS issues.. Looks like they are missing the A record for 85239.com.. The one for www.85239.com exists, which lets us get to the forum (when its up..), but if you just type "85239.com" in a browser, it comes up with 'webfile.com' (which is evil. It should return an error status. Thanx for breaking the internet webfile..).

I've sent an email to support.. Heopfully this up and down of the forum will be fixed soon..

(if the admins are looking for DNS help, I'm happy to.)

Hmmm...85239.com goes to www.85239.com in Firefox and "Page cannot be displayed" in IE. Perhaps there is some sort of malware on your system, causing the redirect to webfile.com?

I found the issue.. Has to do with my work VPN being screwed up at work..

Techy stuff:
Seems that the VPN was returning a bogus search domain, it had 2 chars transposed. So when it would query 85239.com.screwedupdomainname.com. (after it tried 85239.com. normal procedure resolving names), it would return that webfile crap cause of some misspelled domainname camper...

*sigh*.. Amazing that any of the stuff that I was going over VPN for was working.. Guess I need to talk to IT to fix thier DNS..

In any case, 85239.com still should have an A record for 85239.com.. Or at least a CNAME pointing to www.85239.com.

/Disclaimer: I write DNS software for a living.
