  Hello Tom,

  Thank you for replying!  I saw that too.  This has happened more than 
once!  I use a free DNS  service "Domaincow" (only because I don't know how 
to do it any other way), and 216.204.150.251 is in fact one of the DNS 
servers there at Domaincow..  I have the option of logging in and changing 
that back to my IP address.  Is this what I need to do?  I have read several 
times 'here on this list' about some of you running your own DNS, or DNS 
servers etc;  Is this a better way?  IS it something that I should be doing, 
and what does it consist of if you think I should!  Thanks again Tom!  I 
will wait for you to tel me, and I will then go change the web site address 
back to my own, if I should!  Have a good day!

I looked up the DNS entries for both sorcep.com and www.sorcep.com and they
returned an A-record IP of 216.204.150.251

When I go to this address, it is DomainCow. So I assume you are doing so
sort of IP-forwarding? It sure seems like the problem lies there.

Tom
