for what it's worth...Even tried this today. Anway, including the last few times I ran into difficulty getting here, I did a tracert. Invariably, after getting through about 7-8 att/net servers, I get timed out after hop 13 from me, at teleteam-199-34-16-150.teleteam.net [199.34.16.150]. Whatever is beyond this one (be it machine, pipe, router, whatever..) lies the problem. For me at least.
BTW, when this site is down, I can't get to cnn.com either. Of course, MH wouldn't see the problem if he's on the same side of the fence as the server. Again, I don't think the machine is the problem here.
Did a few more checks. Turns my route to cnn.com is different, but that doesn't necessarily mean the two problems aren't related. I'm getting timed out pinging to cnn.com at this time- just as before.
While pinging (w/ -t switch), I'm getting timed out on lynx.inertiagames.com (its resolving the ip ok).
MH, I'd be interested to know if you're able to reach one of my ISPs servers at 207.51.130.12
regardless, it's not slow enough to keep me from posting here...
