    Since the server move, my browser seems to keep wanting to return to the gator host.

    I've cleared the DNS cache, problem still happens.

    Any ideas?

    Does your workplace have its own dns server?

    Probably your company has an in house DNS server that isn't up to date. You should trey putting wordforge in your hosts file:

    After this entry:
    127.0.0.1 localhost

    Put this one:
    67.18.69.178 www.wordforge.net
    67.18.69.178 wordforge.net

    That will take DNS out of the equation.

    hosts is located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

    Okay - covering for a colleague on her computer right now, but will try that as soon as she comes back.
