Sorry about this guys, I know you are learing to get pretty familier with downtime and this can be annoying.
At least this time I got a bit more aof a valid answer to what went wrong. Apparently the CHMOD permissions on Windows 2K either reset themselves or they were having problems restoring them.
Anyone know how long the board was down? I got an e-mail from The Last Kamikazee at 5:34
this morning reporting that it was down, so that could be about 18 hours or so.
