Odd, i can surf the website, the stats show up in both viewers on the login screen, but it times out trying to find a hostname.

Anyone else having trouble logging in at the moment?

Happened to me last night for hours - My DSL provider said their servers were down.

See, that's the part that's really confusing. If you can get to the website, and the stats even show up on the login screen, it's hard to see what DNS is unable to resolve that hasn't already been resolved. I'm no DNS guru, though, so maybe somebody can explain this. (I'd have to resort to some vigorous hand-waving about cache-poisoning by a bad nameserver update for individual login server host IPs, inside LL. Or... something.)
