Hi can anyone tell me the IP address of Amsat UK? The reason I ask is because the DNS Server that both Amsat-NA and Amsat-UK go through in California has my ISP Host Name rejected for some reason and has been this way for some time. to connect to Amsat-NA I have to use the following http://128.54.16.15/amsat-new/index.php and I have tried to find the IPaddress of UK-Amsat to no avail.
Other VK's that are connected to the same ISP have complained about the same problem. The DNS server in California I believe belongs to the Defence Dept'.
Thanks in advance.

Amsat-NA is 128.54.16.15 Amsat-UK is a subdomain of Amsat-NA so the IP is the same.

Strange stuff, the .mil dns server doesn't seem to exist anymore.
The hamradio.ucsd.edu depends on you having a connection to them, and number of things could foul that up, but shouldn't happen much in the normal world of things.
The replacement for trout.nosc.mil hasn't been updated yet, but is also located at ucsd.edu (normally not a good idea)

Their web server www.uk.amsat.org seems to be at 130.88.202.72 at the moment, but you won't be able to access it as http://130.88.202.72 because it's apparently a virtual host.
You could try putting entries for amsat.org, www.amsat.org, and www.uk.amsat.org in your local hosts file. That should be sufficient to bypass any DNS problems. If you google on "hosts file" you can find instructions on exactly how to do this.

Not the case as far as we know, but this isn't the first report I've heard of it looking that way.

Not for some time now. The DNS servers are both at UCSD, hamradio.ucsd.edu and ns1.ucsd.edu. Either of which report that www.uk.amsat.org is a CNAME alias for amsat.mcc.ac.uk, which resolves to 130.88.202.72.
Unfortunately you can't just use the name amsat.mcc.ac.uk either. Apparently the virtual host isn't configured to respond to that name, just to www.uk.amsat.org.

The current AMSAT-UK website is on an old desktop system (on my desk) along with 4 other virtual hosts, but the system is beginning to show its age and I hope to move the website to the University of Manchester webfarm - thats when I get around to it.
Bye for now, John
