Well, for some reason, I'm having trouble connecting to it. When I try to connect to it, the domain
www.xpres.net resolves to 208.176.80.245 which appearently does not exist. The real domain is 216.237.97.18 and I cannot resolve that IP from here. So I can't connect to the forums without going through a proxy (anonymous surfer) which is slow anyway. Not sure why my IP is the only one affected. I called RR tech support and they did not have any trouble at all. They did have some ideas but they all pointed to Harry's end. This makes sense because if you look at the trace, I get all the way to Cambridge Mass before I get stopped dead in my tracks:
