A few hours ago a specific website <http://www.jpost.com> became
inaccessible in Firefox, and began to behave as if unrecognized by
the DNS. Calling its URL caused my own home page to be displayed
instead (this is what happens when a non-existent URL is entered in
the navigation field). When this continued for so long as to become
suspicious, I logged into WinXP in VirtualBox, and found that the
same website is accessed normally, so there is nothing wrong with the
website, which made me think that I needed a new profile.
The new profile is also unable to access the website. The same thing
happens on Opera and on Konqueror, so the problem has nothing to do
with a specific browser. There is also no problem with other
websites.
I am behind two separate firewalls (hardware in my router and
openSuSE software.
I am out of ways to diagnose the problem. Does it make sense to
anyone?
Maybe the site has some funky detection going on, based upon your
location rather than UA or browser settings. Opened right up for me in
But FF in WinXP (virtual machine) is in the same location as is openSuSE.
And surely the newspaper doesn't think my location is suspicious -- it's
a local newspaper, although the server is in the US.
FF2, Opera & Konq on OS 11.0 and FF2 & SeaMonkey on OS/2. I only have a
hardware router/firewall to go through. Running traceroute out to it on
OS/2 & OS saw big DNS delay, and two IPs for www.jpost.com:
98.142.96.40 & 98.142.98.40. --
Odd. You're much closer to the server than I am.
I pinged both IP addresses, both successfully. The first one found no
packets lost, and a return time very consistent between 240 - 243ms; the
second came back faster 261 - 171ms, but with 14% lost packets. Both of
these look acceptable to me, but I 'm wondering if set a different DNS
address for the WinXP. I'll check that.
I did a traceroute. The times are all very moderate, except there is a
very infrequent delay here at the ISP, that amounted at worst to 186ms,
but is mostly on the same two-digit order as all the rest.
