In the end, a server is just a computer (or a bank of computers, rather)
with server software on it and modems attached to it, and connected to the
Net via telephone lines (thick ones, more likely called cables :-), then it
needs an official designation assigned by the PTB (Internic, I believe they
are called? Some company or other in San Diego). If one computer is down,
the others should work? If one modem is down, the rest should work? If the
cable is broken, it can be fixed? If Internic doesn't assign the address
right, that too can be fixed? Or maybe someone forgot to pay a bill somewhere?

I think the whole thing is decidedly fishy. The most likely explanation is
the aliens froze time once again. Who has a supply of the Timelash drug
left? Dr. Jackson, where are you?
