Hi all, This is just to let you know that the present unreachability of Heavens-Above is caused by our Internet service provider blocking access to most network ports, including the DNS packets which are used to resolve names like www.heavnes-above.com into IP addresses like 129.247.177.10 They did this without informing me, and I have now requested the situation be corrected with the utmost urgency, but I have my doubts anything will happen for a few hours at least. In the meantime, you should be still able to access the server by replacing http://www.heavens-above.com with http://129.247.177.10 . This problem is beyond our control, and is unrelated to the attack at the weekend by the Slammer worm. I apologise for this outage, and hope we will back in full operation as soon as possible. On a more positive note, we have oredered a new, faster server which should improve response times and support more hits than the current set up.
