I try to make moves during breaks at work and use IP address to get to the site. Found that the new server has IP address of 208.109.91.43. When I get to the site all I see is "It works" in the upper left corner. Is there a fix for this? Using IE8 with all the patches to access the INTERNET.

It seems the new Net-chess.com site shares one IP with many websites. The host server can route each request to the right site by making use of the domain name that your browser sends with the request when you use the net-chess.com address. When using the IP, that server will not be able to know which virtual server it shall pass your request on to.

The firewall blocks access to the site if WWW.net-chess.com is used due to the word chess.

Gotta love the firewall rules. I changed it so using the IP address will work.
