No, your endpoint's IP address probably changed, which happens from time to
time (basic RoadRunner is dynamically addressed unless you pay an extra $20
per month for the "virtual office" package that includes a static IP).

I'd suggest, if you haven't already, signing up over at dyndns.org, and then
using ddclient on the linux box to update your endpoint IP address with
dyndns.
