***HAVING TROUBLE? Can't Access My350z from Work/Home? ***
Some users (myself included) are having difficulty accessing my350z from work even though the site works at home.
Or vice versa, perhaps you can access at work but NOT at home.
Here is the ***FIX*** for windows users
Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\
open HOSTS file using notepad
add the following 2 lines to the bottom of the file, underneath 127.0.0.1 and localhost
67.201.16.205 www.my350z.com
67.201.16.205 my350z.com
then save, exit, and reboot your machine. It should be able to access my350z.com again!!!
Edit: had to change IP address since Internet Brands took over

Worked like a charm. Well done!
P.S.- Don't ever let that sh*t happen again. Those other sites, with all due respect, were Go-bots to My350Z's Transformers. Sure, they're similar and have the same objective, but they just ain't the same!!!!

This solved all my problems. I could get onto the forum using a backdoor, but I would get kicked off in certian sections of the forum. Problem gone. Thanks.

#1 - This should not be considered a **FIX**. Modifying the hosts record should be a temporary band aid until the name servers / domain issue is taken care of and the DNS updates can propagate throughout the net.
#2 - What in the **** happened? Why wasn't the domain re-newed?
#3 - For Vista users, if you want to modify your host record.... follow these following instructions:
Good luck getting the domain functional...... I cried when I saw DirectNIC's placeholder instead of my morning forced induction reading material.... /sniff

The process is actually quite similar to that described in the previous entry. Just navigate to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad, right click and select Run as administrator.
Once opened, navigate to the hosts file, make your changes, and you’ll be able to save without issue.

2) Well you know when you set something up on an Automatic renewal and the little CC experation date is expired, well that was one thing. The second was the admin email for the domain records wasn't working at the time.
3) ...
I agree it was pretty messed up, and trust me it was just as much of a pain for us as it was for you.

Ouch… Are you kidding me? 
The advice is to hack into a site?
If it’s all volunteer labor… I accept the problem and it’s an explanation.
But.. if anyone’s getting paid to do this… You’re Fired!
