Brewing friends...

I've been trying to get onto Midwest Homebrewing Supplies' website for two days, and I keep getting an "internal server error." Has anyone else had a similar problem? Does anyone know of any problems with Midwest? I've ordered ALL my supplies and extract kits from them, and I am quite pleased with them. Can someone enlighten me?

I dunno, I can connect right on... perhaps it is a router error from your location... try this... with windows click on Run then type CMD... next type tracert www.midwestsupplies.com/ watch the screen as it tries to connect to that ip and see if you get timeouts at one of the router points

I got:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Russ>tracert www.midwestsupplies.com
Tracing route to www.midwestsupplies.com [64.202.240.123]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 10 ms 8 ms 7 ms 10.2.208.1
2 9 ms 10 ms 11 ms ip72-219-248-9.dc.dc.cox.net [72.219.248.9]
3 9 ms 9 ms 10 ms mrfddsrj02-ge110.rd.dc.cox.net [68.100.0.149]

7 52 ms 51 ms 53 ms www.midwestsupplies.com [64.202.240.123]
Trace complete.

So it took me 7 hops and 51 milliseconds to get there from Springfield VA.

See what you get... if there is a router down it will most likely be fixed soon. Try it from a different location if possible.
 
Welp, I couldn't get on again earlier, so I typed in the address as follows: www.midwestsupplies.com. Guess what? I got in! So I compared what I typed to what had been saved in my "favorites" file...and they were different! Dunno how that happened, but obviously something or someone screwed up! Thanks for the help!
