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
