Re: [cobalt-users] RAQ3 access to moved domain before DNS setup propagates

["Steve Colberg" <steve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks!  There were a total of three solutions with some great explanations.

When I first tried the change to my 'hosts' file I made the change correctly
but either made a typo or did not wait long enough because it did not
work...I have tried it again with no further changes and now it does work.

This is a good group...THANKS
