I have two computers on my network and one of them can come to this site while the other cannot. When I got home tonight both reported that the link to this site appeared broken but on this computer I was able to work around that broken link while the other computer is unable to. Any ideas what is causing this issue?

Not exactly sure what is going on at the moment. How exactly did you work around the problem?

I typed in fireflyfans.net into my search engine on the other computer and then kept trying all of the search results until one worked. I just emailed the new link to myself which worked and now I have both computers connected again.

Haken.

Looks like it's a DNS issue, maybe ?

Does not work.

Works just fine (or not!)
When I tried that manually, it did not work either.

Apparently the site can only be reached by accessing a fav placed thread at this time.

I just used the "fireflyfan.net" mirror. Glad to see it's still about!

Since day and age I just put this in my /etc/hosts file:

168.215.229.9 fireflyfans.net
168.215.229.9 www.fireflyfans.net

Works like a charm. :)
