Escapist didn't

Finally have my Escapist Magazine connection issue resolved. How? By telling my computer the DNS of the website. Only, not just one website, but also static.escapistmagazine.com... and also for themis-media.com, and variants on that. All because there are too many aliases or not enough lookups or something.

Anyway, for the record, I edited my hosts file to include the following:

209.34.224.71 www.escapistmagazine.com
209.34.224.71 escapistmagazine.com
64.62.134.199 static.escapistmagazine.com
209.34.224.71 www.themis-media.com
209.34.224.71 www.themis-media.com
64.62.134.199 static.themis-media.com
69.16.175.10 cdn.themis-media.com

(And editing wasn't easy either, as I am in Vista. I use Yikes, but the key point is to right-click on the icon and run as Administrator, or you can't edit the hosts file at /WINDOWS/system32/driver/etc )

[END]
