Comments on the following newsitem
We have been under DDoS for the last few days, and it turns out that more than 40,000 connections per second were attempted to be established. This caused the Technion authority to decrease
the input traffic, and later on close the service altogether. We are back to life now, but our IP has changed, in a hope to escape the DDoS. Nothing is required to be done to keep
crunching - your computer will eventually find the way to the server. Hope this incident will be the last one at least until this batch is finished.

I noticed, through a separate feed (not on the Superlink website) that they're back up and running. But I can't reach either the website or the project via BAM! What gives? The news item said our hosts would "eventually" find the new IP address, but that was like 5 days ago. How can this be fixed? Is anyone else able to access the project/WUs? The message I'm getting in BAM is:

3/28/2009 8:53:39 PM|superlinkattechnion|Fetching scheduler list
3/28/2009 8:54:01 PM||Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
3/28/2009 8:54:02 PM||Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

Help! Thanks in advance.

Due to the DDoS attack they switched over to another IP-Address.
You have to clear your DNS-cache to connect to the site and servers.
On Windose it's ipconfig /flushdns, on OSX one of the Mac specialists
here can help. The new IP-address is 132.68.45.100
