Re: can't get to much of the internet
I can get to eBay on the web, but trace route times out for me. I get a local router (less then 15 ms away), then nothing but time outs. What this is telling me is that eBay is not responding to trace route packets. Therefore, trace route is a pretty useless tool for troubleshooting connectivity problems to eBay.
Can you try another DNS server? Simple way to test is 'nslookup' from a command prompt. Type in 'nslookup www.ebay.com', and post the result. Then, if you don't get an IP address, if you get a 'host not found' type error, try again, thus: 'nslookup www.ebay.com 4.2.2.1'. The first command will use the ATTIS DNS servers, the second will use the Level 3 DNS server.
The tests should look like these:
My first result is using the default ATTIS 'Anycast' DNS server at [68.94.156.1], while the second is using the Level 3 DNS server at [4.2.2.1]. If the ATTIS DNS server is not finding the host, but the Level 3 DNS server is, the ATTIS DNS server has gone south.
