This board doenst work at home?? why?

Why wont this website open at home. It says there is a timeout error or something.:(

u need to write the IP address. http://139.81.142.25/

If you think you can handle this, add the server IP address to the "hosts" file.

~Microsoft Windows OS user
*NT/2000/XP
OS-drive:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
*98/ME
OS-drive:\WINDOWS\hosts (or hosts.sam)

-add like this
"139.81.142.25 www.automotiveforums.com"

this would be the solution of Red X problem, and not being able to get in by typing in the url.
but if AF's server change IP address again, you have to change this.
