Our host is experiencing some trouble with their DNS nameservers. Basically you have a 2/3 chance of getting the wrong IP back when you (or a caching server upstream) ask for n00bfest.com's IP address.

If you're given the wrong address, you'll see either a 404 page with:


or



If you get this, you can either wait for the DNS info to be corrected and then propogate (no idea how long this will take) or simply add the following line to your hosts file (Windows users: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)



Note that you will have to open this with administrator permissions and the etc\ folder is hidden, just type "etc" in the location bar once you get into the drivers folder and you should see the hosts file.

If you can't go without your n00bfest, it might be a good idea to save this to a notepad in case you end up getting the wrong IP, as you will no longer to be able to see these instructions.
