Wow!  I might have to re-evaluate my blogging system configuration!  A good portion of today, my site wasn’t reachable by the internet.

Here is my current configuration:

• Linux server in a virtual environment – fine
• VirtualBox as the Virtual environment – fine
• Dlink router -(I’d prefer a Linksys) – fine
• Local cable company, and a non-static ip address – problem
• Zoneedit account (free) – fine

Okay, the problem is with my local cable company, and the fact that I only have a non-static ip address.  It took about 45 minutes for the new ip address I got assigned to propagate to all of the other DNS servers.  In the mean time, nobody can hit my blog site.

For now, this is something that I will have to live with, but eventually, I’d like to get a permanent static ip address.

Well so much for today 🙁
