DNS glitch keeps AOL off limits
Surfers trying to access the online service, its portal, or its members are unable to due to a domain name server glitch at the InterNIC.
Internet users trying to send email to America Online or get to the online giant's site have been plagued by problems due to a major glitch with the Internet's domain naming system.
Instead of being routed directly to AOL, users from the Net trying to send email to some of the company's 13 million members or trying to get to the company's portal were instead redirected to the servers of a company called Autonet.net, AOL spokeswoman Ann Brackbill has confirmed.
The problem was caused when the InterNIC, run by Network Solutions, changed AOL's designated name server.
