Tom, it seems you uncovered a problem. When I try what you suggest I get this: I changed things as far as the machine name but I used the Fully Qualified name.
telnet webserver.fqdn.org 80 Trying xxx.xx.xx.99... telnet: connect to address xxx.xx.xx.99: No route to host telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host So to make sure things are correct I did the same thing to a Web Server on a different machine on the same network and got this: # telnet different.webserver.org 80 Trying xxx.xx.xx.110... Connected to different.webserver.org (xxx.xx.xx.110). Escape character is '^]'. bye Connection closed by foreign host. I did this from the same host on the same network. So something is whacky on the routes. >>> Tom Limoncelli <[email protected]> 1/12/2011 2:09 PM >>> Generally when I see "Host Unreachable" I think it is a routing problem or (if they are on the same LAN segment) a broken cable / disabled interface. If the system works by hijacking port 80, then ping and traceroute can't really help you. However, you can at least connect to port 80 via telnet. Type "GET /" and press RETURN twice: $ telnet whatexit.org 80 Trying 2607:f2f8:a9c0::2... Connected to whatexit.org. Escape character is '^]'.
