To sum it up, it may take anywhere from 12 hours to several days for the DNS cache to be refreshed, which is why you (and myself!) are now able to access APFFN, but you had trouble doing so for some time before.

I'm really sorry about this and any inconveniences (including any abstinence syndrome symptoms) this may have caused you.

Cheers,

I am still having probs and my IE, which once worked, is experiencing the same problems.
