| 174552 | 2003-09-11 06:16:00 | Hi team I'm facing a communications conundrum here. I can't get out on my email, which goes via Xtra, yet I can open a variety of websites and ping anything but Xtra to my heart's content. I have three computers affected at the moment, one W98 and two W2K, which sort of confirms it as an external issue. They all connect via a D-Link DSS-8 switch and a Nokia Ni500 adsl router. Pinging Xtra's DNS simply times out (202.27.184.3 or 202.27.184.5) As usual there are no known problems on the network! Any ideas? Cheers Billy 8-{) :( |

| 174555 | 2003-09-11 07:10:00 | I had the same problem yesterday. Was testing an internet connection and tried pinging 202.27.184.3 but it kept timing out so I thought the internet connection was playing up! But when I tried pinging something else it was fine. | CYaBro (73) | ||

| 174557 | 2003-09-11 07:51:00 | I'm with Snap (http://www.snap.net.nz) and they're blocking ping and tracert traffic to help try and not contaminate the net too much with these blasters and the like doing the rounds. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
