"The program could not establish a connection to the internet. Please check to see if you have entered the corrected destination server, username and password in the dialog box File->Misc->Internet Connection. See also if your modem is turned on."

I discovered my site wasn't online last night so I tried to re-sync & got the above message. LunarPages is closed until Monday so I'm hoping ya'll have an answer for me.

When I tested the connection, I got the Error- Host not found.

Barbara, go to your browser and type in your URL then hit refresh (Ctrl+F5) a few times. Just in case it was a maintenance issue and might have been down temporarily.

Hi all, Barb,
I had just talked to LP and the dept I talked with saidyou will have to wait til monday, but you should check to see if you had an email from 2 cows, or opensrs.net regarding your domain name. There is lock on the name so maybe it expired, they couldn't say..... Sorry

Bruzer! Long time-no see... Glad you're still here :D
Barbara, you could check your acct. info at LP right now and see what the status of the account is.
A client of mine forgot about hers and was off-line for several days. She no longer had the credit card on-file, so it didn't auto renew. All she had to do was log in to her account and put in the payment on another card to get it sorted.

Looks like it is a problem with verifying the account although I've not gotten anything from anyone to do that. We'll see what LP support says. :/

Hey Bruce, good to see ya. I tried logging into opensrs.net but I don't see where to log in to check/verify my domain. All I saw was where resellers log in.

Paintbrush, I tried the refresh to no avail. I don't know how to check my "status". I did check the status of LP & it's "great".

So frustrating. I sent a support email to LP so we'll see.

I don't know how it got changed but my email address was changed at https://manage.opensrs.net I've verified my domains for years. Any idea who or how it would have been changed? Any idea how long it'll take my account to be unlocked?? This is just crazy!

The https://manage.opensrs.net/ had my email address as barabarainmemphis@aol.com instead of barbarainmemphis@aol.com It's still showing the domain is locked but as long as the site is up, that is all that matters for now.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
