Just to clarify: this is not a new problem, it happened several weeks ago when I was first setting up my ISY. At the time I thought it might have been a temporary server problem since access was fine from work the next day (I hadn't tried to access again from home until this morning).

Strange problem when accessing universal-devices.com web pages from computers at home. I can initially access the website, but after following a number of links (to the wiki or to the forum, for example) my computer suddenly cannot resolve universal-devices.com - I get an error saying "This link appears to be broken". This in not just finding a stale link - I cannot even get back to the main web page. I thought this might be a problem on the particular computer I was using, so I connected through another computer (also on my home network). At the same time that the first computer was saying that www.universal-devices.com appears to be broken the second computer pulled the page up immediately. However, after poking around the web page for a minute the second computer started giving me the same broken link errors. I am writing this from my computer at work where I have never experienced this problem. I have been having this problem from home ever since I installed my ISY (I don't know if I tried accessing universal-devices.com from home before I got the ISY). Both computers at home are running Windows XP with current updates. One is running IE7 and the other is running IE8. They are running different firewall software but the same (corporate) version of Symantec AntiVirus. My ISP is Comcast which I connect to through a Netgear FVS318 router. Has anyone else reported a similar problem? I couldn't find anything doing a forum search. Not really an ISY problem but makes it hard to work with my ISY if I can't access the documentation.

I just ordered my ISY, should be here next week. After spending a frustrating half hour crosslinking a pair of Switchlincs I am looking forward to being able to configure everything from the ISY. Howveer I have a really basic question: If I program a scene with the ISY (say a 3-way switch configuration with 2 Switchlincs) is the scene information programmed into the Switchlincs, or is the ISY involved in running the scene? In other words, if I set up the scene with the ISY and the ISY goes away for some reason will the scene still work?
