One site I use for DNS checks is www.dnsstuff.com  It has a related site
www.dnsreport.com.  I checked your site and your Name service is showing as
down.

DNS Report for accesscomputing.co.uk
Generated by www.DNSreport.com at 14:35:46 GMT on 25 May 2004.

[ERROR: Timed out getting NS data from parent server]


Legend:
7       Rows with a FAIL indicate a problem that in most cases really
should be fixed.
7       Rows with a WARN indicate a possible minor problem, which often is
not worth pursuing.
