Well, maybe it is some kind of "DNS" related issue. > All those links work fine for me using [...] AT&T DNS servers That could turn out to be a key item of info... Btw, "Craig White" 's answers differed from mine. (Maybe a "DNS" issue!) His *middle *result was "#fails" (which I also got), but as for his 1st and 3rd, his results were "backwards" from what I have been seeing -- in regard to that #works / #fails metric units. (unless he had some *typo?* naah... :-) Also, things seemed to work *fine *for Dazed_75 and "Stephen" . So there seem to be a bunch of things that "could" have gone wrong, that did not... and I am still observing some "#fails" (at least with a Chrome browser; -- but I am starting to suspect that this is "NOT" a "browser"-related issue) FWIW, I am using Qwest DSL. I am not sure how to determine what my DNS server is... Hmmm... Well, I did a search, and just as I was going to "http://www.whatsmydns.net/", all of a sudden, my (DNS?) problems toggled, and now my results match Craig White's results! Is that a bit suspicious? Or maybe just a coincidence? Hmmm... Maybe it could "tell" us something... PS: Is http://www.plug.phoenix.az.us/ maybe a bogus domain name? (Did Craig White just [erroneously] "make up" that domain name?) -- Mike Schwartz Glendale AZ schwartz@acm.org On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 10:54 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > All those links work fine for me using Firefox 3.5.9 for ubuntu on ubuntu > 9.10.
