Chuck Brite's Tutorial Page?

[TaggartTC]

I've been trying to access Chuck Brite's wonderful set of tutorials for tracklaying, etc at http://trains.0catch.com/tutorial.html, but I've been getting an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. Last time I was able to access the page was on Monday...anyone else having this problem?

I sure hope all is well for Chuck, and I hope the invaluable resource he created is not gone for good

Ok, thanks RR...It must be something weird on my end then. Sorry for the false alarm, folks.

Thank you very much for your generous offer Torchy! I'll send you an email, if you really don't mind.

FWIW, I still can't access the website from my desktop machine or two laptops using my home connection. Particularly vexing, since I used to access it just fine, and it seems to be the only website affected. It must be something with my router or ISP, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out! Thanks again, everyone, for confirming the site is still there.

Try clearing your internet cookies and temporary files. These things are cached and this can cause sites not to load that could load before.

Another thing to try too is open a command prompt.

Type ipconfig/flushdns and hit return.

Close the window when done.

This will flush your DNS cache on your PC.
