Please excuse the multiple postings.

 

Remember, Monday (December 17th, 2007) is the big day.  The Colorado Alliance will be changing its IP address beginning at or around 8:00am.  We expect all services to be unavailable that entire day.  According to our ISP and network consultants, it may take as long as three days for the changes to our DNS to fully propagate throughout the Internet.  During that time frame, you may be unable to reach Alliance services via hostname.  However, you should be able to access them directly using the IP addresses of the service (see below).

 

For example, to reach the Alliance website (http://www.coalliance.org) you would simply put the IP address (129.19.152.10) of the web server into your browser.
