[KLUG Members] webmail saga continues! story at 11...

[Mark Tarquini]

*steam*

OK, DNS does indeed seem to be working.  if i ping www.hotmail.com it DOES
resolve an IP address for it, just doesn't bounce anything back, like someone
said earlier.  I tested the IP's that ping was returning and they ARE MSN sites...

So now, what the heck could be stopping login.passport.net from loading, along
with not loading any activeX or webmail sites.

what is ECN? =)

Conveniently traceroute is NOT on my ipcop box in /usr/sbin ... what the hell? 
I'll have to bring it on a floppy from my own box at home tomorrow.

I checked the web proxy log for ipcop, in the gui.  Did not find anything that
showed anything at all really.  It just showed all the websites it tried to go
to, when you click on the log line it just opens that site...

If this webmail thing is ever resolved it'll be a miracle. =)

Thanks a million,

Mark Tarquini
