I can't get Mudcat at home all of a sudden. I keep getting a message with the words Gateway, Timeout, Error, probably in that order. Wot's that about then?

Wyrd Sister at work, feeling stupid.

There are anumber of ways of getting into Mudcat and one usually works if the other doesn't

www.mudcat.org
www.loki.mudcat.org
www.ragtime.mudcat.org
help.mudcat.org

Occassionally (like over the weekend) Mudcat crashes and none of them work, so it's worth saving these for future reference

There's also dharma.mudcat.org...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on dharma, loki and ragtime you aren't required to use the "www." in the URL. I used to know the reason (something to do with a base protocol and attached servers or somesuch if I remember correctly), but don't really care anymore. Just works for me.

You MUST NOT use www. with loki, ragtime, dharma and help.

The internet domain of the Mudcat cafe is mudcat.org

www, ragtime, loki, dharma, shorty and help (and maybe some more, only God and Max know) all are subdomains (btw, shorty and www end up on the same computer).

But there are no sub-subdomains www on these machines, so www.loki.mudcat.org does not exist, neither do www.www.mudcat.org, www.ragtime.mudcat.org, www.dharma.mudcat.org ...

www is just the most commonly used subdomain for http-Server.
