[NTLUG:Discuss] Weird Connection problem

[Ward Networks]

Stephen,

The problem is NOT the sites you are looking at, there is a core router
near you that is failing on a D-slam... this intermitant port 80
connection problems are not on your end.

Greetings.

I can traceroute and ping these sites.  I can can hit other websites no
problem.
ISPs that I have used to connect/try are Earthlink (Dialup), Qwest
(DSL), and ISPWest(DialUp).  The current information is coming from my
connection
via ISPWest.

Just tried telnetting to www.zdnet.com, port 80, received "Connection
Refused"
And for www.epicrealm.com;

steve at davidson:~> telnet www.epicrealm.com 80
Trying 63.167.43.27...
telnet: connect to address 63.167.43.27: Connection timed out
davidson:~# traceroute www.epicrealm.com
traceroute to www.epicrealm.com (63.167.43.27), 30 hops max, 40 byte

I CAN send and receive email from/to these sites, I just can't seem to
hit their webservers..

I am not sure that this is me.
Scary concept - ZDNet uses M$ Servers.  I THINK so does Ananova.  Don't
know about EpicRealm.
