Unable to find server is the standard message with advice about spelling it correctly etc. <br>All other computers in the offices including the IT help and the other single Linux machine are getting internet emails, as I was until I changed machine. It is weird but what happens.
<br>I have never tried a traceroute. I'm at home at present (hence gmail) and will try that tomorrow.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 17, 2008 5:33 PM, Jethro Carr <<a href="mailto:jethro.carr@jethrocarr.com">

<br>I don't fully understand what you are trying to say above - do you mean<br>that you are unable to access some websites such as hotmail, yahoo, etc<br>from your work computer?<br><br>Most likely cause is filtering software - are you 100% sure that your
<br>employer does not have filtering enabled? - this could either be done on<br>the network gateway or even on the computer itself.<br><br>Have you tried using another staff member's computer?<br><br>You say that you are not able to ping the websites - have you done a
<br>traceroute to see where the packets are being dropped?<br><font color="#888888"><br><br>--<br>Jethro Carr<br><br><a href="http://www.jethrocarr.com" target="_blank">www.jethrocarr.com</a><br><a href="http://www.jethrocarr.com/index.php?cms=blog" target="_blank">
