I would say the packets are being dropped somewhere. is your host being NATted? if yes, can other host that are on the same network reach the server?
it may be your or their firewall or router dropping the packets. or some other kind of box. does your machine have a personal firewall? or ACL's that dropes packets from that address or your address? the only time I have seen a browser behave this way is when some device drops the packet without sending a RST. do you have a sniffer you can add to the wire and see what happens to the packets? I do this to people who try to send cmd.exe calls port 80. also root.exe. your browser will just sit spinning it's wheels, waiting for some packets to come back. jef > >On Thursday 12 September 2002 02:24 pm, Irene wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> Recently, I have found that I am not able to browser one website at > home. > >> ( Only that website so far).
