Re: Creative Lab's Nail in the Coffin

Thanaks for getting in touch with creativelabs. Perhaps this weekend I will take some screen shots to show the problem. 

Someone mentioned it might be a DNS issue. As I understand it, that might mean that servers around the world have somehow been instructed to change www.emu.com to http://www.creative.com/emu/. As more servers start doing this, I assume eventually no one will be able to get to www.emu.com.

Hmmmm. I just tried pinging www.emu.com. That works, but I cannot use the result to access the site. Pinging www.creative.com produces the exact same address!!!! [124.246.74.235] I am not sure if that is really their address or someone is intercepting the request.

In any case, one fix would be for creativelabs to add the www.emu.com pages to their site and pit it in the support > products navigation system.

Again, thanks for contacting them.

Steve
