This points to a DNS issue, which is more useful than "Page could not be displayed". What does dig give you for the domain?

It's those Warner Brothers Acme brand modems. Same outfit that makes all of Wile E.s stuff. It's probably also an Acme nameserver. Seriously, you should use some other tools such as name lookup to find the IP address of the site in question. If it fails with their default resolvers, try a different resolver. Then see if you can get to the site (or a default site on the same server) by IP address, use traceroute, etc. > maybe its time to buy some 3com stocks :) If a whole bunch of people are having the same issue and they're all on Time Warner in your neck of the woods, it probably isn't the cable modem hardware. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - [email protected] WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDV NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/
