This may be the result of the recent, and perhaps ongoing, DDOS attack.
However, you should NOT be using "www.exetools.com". That is the link to Aaron's original HOMEPAGE with the old tools on it. Your URL should be: hxxp://www.exetools.com/forum/index.php or hxxp://forum.exetools.com/ Usually, to access a vbulletin forum, one needs the "/forum/index.php" on the end, or at least "/forum/ unless a referrer is set for some other combination. Regards,

I use nslookup in cmd window. It shows that I cannot find the ip correspond to www.exetools.com. While with exetools.com,the IP is 222.92.105.26. For ftp.exetools.com,IP is 211.141.237.27. |

nslookup www.exetools.com for me shows me the correct ip address. Looks like that to stop the DDOS attack some filters are placed on www.exetools.com and not on exetools.com?? maybee JMI can check of my home ip has been blocked?

It may be a DNS issue. I had similar problems a while back.
