Q: I try to access a website but my browser says the site can not be found. So I go to my router diagnostics, and ping the address:
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min / avg / max = 77.9/78.9/79.8 ms
So my router can see the site but my browser can it? Me using Netscape in the first place, but IE errors. No problems with any other site Ive tried to access.
Re:try telneting to port 80 on the host (web page address)
telnet www.cnn.com 80
and type
GET
If you get a response you have full connectivity to the site and it is probabably the URL is wrong or the page itself is blocking your request

not really…at some point, someone is dropping port 80 traffic between you (but not all, if ping works)
That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

When you ping or tracert an address you are just getting the machine that houses the webserver that serves the page. That said you may have been getting replies but that just means the machine is operational. The page could have been removed or the webserver service may not be running.
Make sense?
Yes. If a person on another ISP can access the page, while I can't, is there anything I can do?
