Majority of my members cannot get into my forum!

The majority of my members cannot get into my forum since the migration.  What's up with that?  I have their email addresses, so what can I tell them to do?

If you wish to try to get on sooner (after the move is completed)  you can try to flush the dns manually
There is no guarantee this will work.      Note:   Will not work on Win98, Win98SE

Start > Run >  type in cmd.exe
Click OK
Type in:    ipconfig /flushdns
Hit Enter:
Wait for the response
Type EXIT to exit the command prompt

If this doesn't work, they will slowly start to be able to access the forum.

Thought I would Bump this.  Crasy posted this way last year and it does help sometimes.  SMF finished with my server this morning and I used it.  I can get on my forum with FF, but still waiting for IE to catch up.
