Does anyone have this problem and error?

Is the bug back again? My firefox and internet explorer say that TRF site does not exist or is not available.
I can only view the site using my BB Blod 9700.

I think we're having some DNS issues. Changing to Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8) seems to work for now.

Depending on your device (ie PC, iPad, Mac) you'll need to change your network adapter's DNS address to 8.8.8.8

This should be located where you'd set a static ip address. In windows, open the run command, type: ncpa.cpl

Right click your adapter (either wireless or LAN) click properties. Click TCP/IP properties and set your DNS.

If you change DNS to 8.8.8.8 as stated above you will be up and running fine.
