Re: ISP can't reach our website

I have yet to find a site that I can ping. Waiting to hear from our
network admin.

Some network admins block pings. Basically, there is something on the

if your network admin doesn't know from shinola.

I can ping fine

What do the AT&T users get?

Does it change if they run
ipconfig /flushdns

Does it change if they go into Services, stop their DNS client, and
restart it?
I used to have to do that regularly, but it's been a few years. I think
our new VPN client helped fix that.
This often is a better flush than ipconfig /flushdns

I heard from GoDaddy. They want a tracert dilgardfoods.com. The tracert
just continually times out for the entire 30 hops.

This is what a ping looks like:

C:\Documents and Settings\jeff>ping dilgardfoods.com

Pinging dilgardfoods.com [68.178.254.204] with 32 bytes of data:

Same thing from a co-worker's desktop. Yet I can go to a browser and get
to our website.

So what does all this mean to me? That there's a mess going on with DNS
out there somewhere?
