Hmm - wont allow me access from behind the company firewall !
Anyone elese having the same hassle or has gatekeeper gone loopy again ?
If you have trouble accessing this site, it's because you're on a
computer that doesn't answer on any of the service ports you're trying
to access. You see, if you look up the name warez.gameplace.com in DNS
you will see that it translates as 127.0.0.1, which is the reserved IP
number for the local loopback. That is, if you, say, telnet to this
site, you're telnetting right back to your machine!
I just wonder how someone could register that address...
