I am trying to connect to http://www.corvetteforum.com and I always get an error. I get the IE page explaining the page doesn't exist but it does.....
I have a friend using another service other than Cogeco (my isp) and he is having no problems. I can also access it from work. Could Cogeco be filtering this site somehow? They claim there is no problem. I did a trace route on the site and it completed so something is weird.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Joe
PS I also have another friend using the same isp and he cannot access it either
Try doing a traceroute to the site. If the traceroute starts, then the DNS has resolved the address. It will probably appear that you are not reaching the site (the site does respond to ICMP packets) but I'd suggest that the problem is in the return path. You can note where the traceroute fails.

Something seems to be very wrong. Your traceroute doesn't go to http://www.corvetteforum.com. It doesn't even come close.
At the top of the traceroute did it report 209.196.48.54 as the IP for http://www.corvetteforum.com? If it did, your ISP has a badly fouled up DNS server.
It could be something else Norm but the latest few versions of ZA have ad blocking software and a pop up stopper built in that causes more graphics and page cannot displayed errors than you can imagine. He had the same problem trying to use the TCP/IP Analyzer...... just one of the many reasons I don't like ZA.
I haven't used ZA in a long time and wasn't aware of it's new features. I just rely on my router and common sense now for security. Too much bloat on my system with all the security software.
I think Kip was right though. Seeing that I'm on Cogeco as well and had the same problem on that site it was most likely a DNS server problem. Cogeco has been upgrading for the last few weeks and there have been numerous outages as well as surfing problems lately. Quite a few error pages recently on sites I know are online. Even the TV signals have been going south for short periods.
It's getting better as time goes on.
I would assume now that it's possible some of the linked pages on that site may not exist yet, still being written. I could be wrong though.

ZA and ZA PRO are still the best firewall i have used,It is a little overwhelming for the average user,but a power user will love zone alarm.As it will block OUTGOING connections as well as incoming.It will stop spyware and notify you something is sending out packets that you havent requested to be done.Helpful in that it lets you know to run Ad-aware or similiar spy-ware removal tools.
Also if you happened to get a trojan or worm,it will block access to the network for them also.IMO its the best there is,and ZA is FREE! and does more than allot of $150.00 apps i have tried.
