The FR facebook group
had a link to FR that would
work during this.

I managed to find and open the hosts file. How do I find FR’s IP address?

I’ve been blocked at various locations for the last 24 hours.

My connection is back on Frontier in SoCal.

I got it by typing ‘Free Republic IP address’ into Google, when I couldn’t access FR or the Yahoo group. It comes right up in the first few results.

[pa_dweller]

Thanks. Got ‘er done.

[Darnright]

Add Cox to that list.

[eyedigress]

Now relock the properties of your host file. :^)

[pa_dweller]

Now relock the properties of your host file

If by that you mean set attribute to read-only, that's now done too.

Free Republic may be blocked but I can still get to my celeb gossip sites!

I am on Verizon Wireless Jetpack. I have 18 gigabytes currently. I tried to log on to FR this morning and had a message that Safari could not access site. I tried several times then went about my business. When I came back, no problem logging on and I looked for a lapse in time where no one posted anything, but while it looked like there was not as much activity as usual, there was continuous movement on this site. Don’t know who what or why, but when was this morning EST.
