Re: Flynet down?
No, we're on servers located in Florida, so we weren't affected by the problem at thePlanet.com's servers.
I agree that this sounds like a DNS issue as I'm getting into the website and all functions without a problem.
Just out of curiosity, are you able to get to www.fsairlines.net without problem? If so, it may be better just to sit it out a few more weeks (I hope thats how long it is at least) until we transfer services over to the new domain and client, that way you get a fresh start with the new client and don't have to worry about any transition.

Righty mate.
The DNS servers your PC is configured with is your router. This isn't as uncommon as it sounds, but may be the source of your woes. Can I ask who your ISP is. I'll find out what their real DNS servers are and check them.
Cheers

Hi Mate,
Ive run a query against AOL's DNS server and it resolves Flynet fine. So....
Not knowing how good you are with computer, can you try the following...
Click on Start -> Control Panel
Find your network settings icon.
Right click on the connection you are using (Typically local area connection, may be different if you are connecting over wifi) and select "properties" from the list that appears when you right click.
Click on Internet protocol (TCP/IP) v4 (it may or may not say v4, depending on the OS)
Where it currently has selected "obtain DNS server address automaticly" Change this to "Use the following dns server addresses" and in prefered DNS server type in 205.188.146.145 (This is AOL's uk DNS server)
Leave the secondary empty.
Click on OK. Then Click on OK again,
Then (for easyness sake) restart your computer and see what happens.
The one thing I would say is not to do this if its a laptop or work PC. This is because laptops will use different networks (depending on where you plug them in or which wifi you connect to) so they will need to get the DNS servers provided by that network. If its a PC in your house and thats all it connects to, then hard coding the dns server is fine. It can always be reverted back if necessary.
Let us know how you get on.
