(but I can get there now) > Yes, it was a dns issue. You perhaps have regular issues with your dns using Qwest dialup? However, I don't believe that they allow DNS to traverse their network (or they didn't). You had to use their DNS servers? To quickly determine, add: nameserver 8.8.8.8 at the top of the file /etc/resolv.conf Then verify you can still resolve names? # ping apple.com If you get an error, you HAVE to use Qwest DSL's dns servers (which are not rated well). > > > slug> nmap -P0 plug.phoenix.az.us > > This will give you a list of open ports. > > Try to pull up the website via the IP address: > > https://140.99.58.163 > > http://140.99.58.163 > > $ nmap -P0 plug.phoenix.az.us > > Starting Nmap 6.01 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-11-20 11:31 MST > Nmap scan report for plug.phoenix.az.us (208.77.223.83) > Host is up (0.064s latency). > rDNS record for 208.77.223.83: phxlinux.org > Not shown: 996 closed ports > PORT STATE SERVICE > 22/tcp open ssh > 25/tcp open smtp > 80/tcp open http > 443/tcp open https > > So, I'm still stuck with the question, > how can I get to the plug archives? > > I would ask that directly of Brian.
