Re: Linux Forums unreachable.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Linux Forms? Here is what I
get -

 >Network Timeout

 >The server at www.linuxforums.org is taking too long to respond.

browser has >stopped waiting for a reply.

A useful tool to check if the problem is at your end is
downforeveryoneorjustme.com:
http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.linuxforums.org

Seems like it's just at your end.

I do not think it is a DNS problem, as I used the following Python code
to retrieve the ip address of lunuxforums.org as 174.132.123.98, and
attempted to connect to that ip address with my web browser [Firefox],
and was unable to connect.

Address = socket.getaddrinfo("www.linuxforums.org", None)
Address
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('174.132.123.98', 0)), (2, 2, 17, '',
('174.132.123.98', 0)), (2, 3, 0, '', ('174.132.123.98', 0))]

I then verified the retireved ip address with the following query, which
down quite a ways verifiies that ip address as being linuxforums.org.

ray@RaysComputer:~$ whois 174.132.123.98

What is the output of
dig +short linuxforums.org
dig +short @8.8.8.8 linuxforums.org
traceroute linuxforums.org
traceroute -T linuxforums.org

FYI:

- whois is of no use for connectivity (unless a site's registration
has lapsed of course)

- sometimes more than one site is hosted at an ip address so going to
that address in Firefox will most likely take you where you want to go

- I can only admire your obsession with scripting but there are
regular tools (with flexible options) for resolving addresses
(although I assume that the "none" above must mean that you can feed
your script a different DNS server to be queried)
