Not able to connect (was: OT: NFS SERVER UP)

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Man, just when I got my skilz to a point where I won't embarrass myself, I
can't connect to the server.

Is it still up?  I tried both "scirocco.org" and "208.252.99.15"  with "16v"
as password and keeps saying "ClientConnect: Cannot resolve address".

I'm running from a home network with a DHCP server, but that shouldn't make
a difference...

Any ideas?

Update on Raffi's clutch - no 16v's available in the nearby yards. Late
model VW dismatler wanted $550 + core !!!  ...Bastards...

TIA, JT
