My Mac's FR just came back with normal usage. It had been out from DNS problems for probably less than an hour. I had been able to access it by replacing < www.freerepublic.com > in the URL with the IP number:
< 209.157.64.200 > The rest of the URL could be left the same. Interestingly clicking links within FR worked, producing IP versions of the linked pages. I've saved a bookmark to the IP version of FR as such problems crop up from time to time and using that is easier, and safer for the less computer literate, than changing the Hosts file. Still, kudos to whomever or whatever restored normal functioning!
