RE: fleet.navy.mil DNS / network ops contact please

["Wallace Keith" <kwallace () pcconnection com>]

I've found from experience that connectivity to various .mil sites
varies on a moment to moment basis based on your source address and the
mood of the day. That being said, the best luck I've had getting issues
resolved is by contacting DISA, by phone, and opening a case -
http://www.disa.mil/main/support/gnosc_rnosc.html

Usually wound up with someone stateside in Columbus (be VERY patient).
Hope this helps and good luck!

Is this a connectivity issue?  If so, ...

I seem to remember reading somewhere in the news that the US Military
has cut off connectivity with all commercial sites/networks for members
deployed or overseas.  While I did not have email and such when *I* was
deployed 13-15 years ago, it may be that "fleet.navy.mil" is considered
part of that portion of the MILnet that was cutoff.
