I can reach both web sites, not sure about the list. It is not unusual that computers do not respond to ping these days.
Perhaps you can try: traceroute lists.opendkim.org Traceroute does not guarantee anything either, but at least show if there is some sort of network route to IP. ping www.opendkim.org PING medusa.blackops.org (208.69.40.157) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from medusa.blackops.org (208.69.40.157): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=22.1 ms www.verizonwireless.com does not respond to ping but loads in browser. lists.opendkim.org does not respond to ping or traceroute. traceroute to lists.opendkim.org (208.69.177.116), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 usg1 (192.168.1.1) 0.412 ms 0.576 ms 0.389 ms 2 ptld-dsl-gw49.ptld.qwest.net (207.225.84.49) 3.347 ms 3.507 ms 3.776 ms 3 ptld-agw1.inet.qwest.net (207.225.86.129) 3.594 ms 3.708 ms 3.808 ms 4 sea-brdr-02.inet.qwest.net (67.14.41.190) 7.126 ms 7.223 ms 7.519 ms 5 be209.ccr21.sea02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.11.1) 23.969 ms 23.855 ms 25.295 ms 6 be2084.ccr22.sea01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.0.253) 24.450 ms be2083.ccr21.sea01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.0.249) 21.590 ms be2084.ccr22.sea01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.0.253) 22.125 ms 7 be2075.ccr21.sfo01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.0.233) 24.792 ms 24.723 ms 24.601 ms 8 be3178.ccr21.sjc01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.43.70) 24.814 ms be3179.ccr22.sjc01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.43.150) 22.224 ms 22.089 ms 9 be2063.rcr21.b001848-1.sjc01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.1.162) 22.693 ms be2095.rcr21.b001848- 1.sjc01.atlas.cogentco.com (154.54.3.138) 23.589 ms 23.997 ms 10 * * * 11 * * * ........ Check if DNS works by asking dig or nslookup For basic sanity checks, I found www.google.com to respond reliably to ping. Additionally it is good for checking DNS as it should change IP with most requests.
