I can't ping ehrensteinland.com - the host does not resolve. So it still looks like a DNS issue.
Did you just change something, and the change has not yet propegated through DNS-land?

No, I've not changed anything, tommy, and that's the problem.
We're on a shared IP and I believe that's the cause of the frequent downtime the site has been experiencing. They say it has nothing to do with the IP but I'm not convinced.
I can access the site's control panel using the IP address, so I'm fairly sure it's got nothing to do with them rebooting the server, which is their standard excuse for any downtime.
eta: I'm logged in. I just have no one to talk to.
Heh, me too.
Jessica, I added you to my Jabber contact list. It says "Waiting for Authorization."
google talk people, how are you logging in?
Under Preferences, set up a Jabber account, using your Gmail address as the username, and talk.google.com as the server.
requires Tiger, apparently.
No, these grapes aren't sour at all.
Jessica, I'm getting a "can't connect." I am using Gaim. Is there something I need to put in the "resource" area?
I don't know anything about Gaim, sorry. (I'm using iChat.)
Check here for info: [link]
eta: Gaim instructions:
1. Add an account, select "Jabber" as the protocol.
2. Your screen name is everything before the '@gmail.com'.
3. Server is 'gmail.com'.
4. Click "show more options" and make sure "use TLS if available" is checked. Leave "Force old SSL" and "allow plaintext..." unchecked for now. Connection port should be 5222, connection server should be 'talk.google.com' without the quotes.
5. Ta-da! Just login and you should be good-to-go.
