If I type in www.canreef.com, I sometimes get the error "cannot find server", but if I type in http://216.187.96.54/modules/Active_Topics/index.php,
I always connect.

(I don't actually type that in, but I have bookmarked it)

Mitch,

This is an indication that there are DNS server issues, or the DNS servers are down. All domains run on top of an actual IP address, however not all websites have their own unique IP. Most sites out there are on virtual hosting, which means they share the ip address and then it is up to the web server to determine where to go based on the domain name. So in that case using an IP address like you do above would not work.

I have also noticed canreef up and down quite a bit. Guys if you need help let me know, this is what I do for a living.
