Reply to "access to the Auctiva.com site"

Hi fromalisonsattic & SaintBernardsslobber, an ISP router or domain name server(DNS) problem would probably affect access to many other sites not just Auctiva.

(To de-jargon this reply - The domain name server translates a string like "Auctiva.com" into a numeric address for the nut & bolts of the system to connect your PC to the site you want to access. So if the translation does not happen the site will not be found.

And the ISP is your Internet Service Provider - the one you pay to connect to everyone else)

It is also possible for your PC to be hijacked if unprotected to be diverted to a rogue DNS first to allow dubious files to drop on to your PC and even prevent you from accessing the sites you really want.

I hope this helps
