Also, those of you who know how to edit your hosts file can add this line:

69.167.176.141 northwestfirearms.com www.northwestfirearms.com

Sorry about this guys, these DNS errors caught us by surprise. We've done everything we can, we just have to wait at this point and let the new IP addresses trickle through the internet. One thing that may or may not help is to do an IP flush. For windows users, do the following:

1. Go to the Accessories section of your start menu.
2. Click "Command Prompt".
3. Type "ipconfig /flushdns".

Let me know if that helps anyone.

I initially tried the flushdns and it didn't work for me... As I said above, you might want to consider sending out an e-mail to everyone letting them know what's up... Maybe post on Facebook as well.
I had all kinds of crazy conspiracies floating around my head when I couldn't get on... lol
This is one of the websites I visit every day, so I couldn't get my daily fix of NWFirearms...

I couldn't get on all of yesterday..

I am on Comcast. Today seems perfectly normal...

Same here, couldnt do crap yesterday from home or work, but today is just like new.

It is still happening sporadically today. I have to do a search for nwfirearms and click on a few different links to get it to work right.

It's the MAN!'

The MAN is trying to keep us down!

Fight the power!

Ok... Just kidding!

Official time-frame for any type of DNS settings is 24-72 hours.

These settings have to propagate all over the world, and each server as well
as each ISP's local DNS servers can take a while to catch up to each other.

If you are tech-minded - you can perform the following:

Start -> Run -> type in 'CMD' without the quotes

At the black screen prompt - type in - IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Then exit and restart your internet browser.
