Don't seem to be any frames

Is this it?

Either your ISP is having DNS problems or routing problems. Another possibility is that you have host file entries that point to outdated IP addresses. If you have downloaded one of those "increase your internet speed" programs they often create host file entries to speed up name resolution. The problem is when the IP addresses change you are out of luck.

Search your hard drive for a file named hosts (or lmhosts) depending on your OS, there will not be an extension (hosts.sam or lmhosts.sam are ok as they are sample files). Delete these files and reboot or from a command prompt type in nbtstat -R then retry again.

See if you can hit this link... http://www.citypaper.com/2002-05-15/feature2.html

There seems to be alot of Java menu items and potentialy flash overhead. It may be timing out. If you can get to the second link you have connectivity to the server. If you can get to the first one you just need to bypass the main page for some reason.

Works fine for me in Mozilla 1.1, Netscape 6.2, Opera 6.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0. (Windows XP Pro)

Are you using an old-school dial-up modem? Or do you have a nice DSL line (like I wish I had)?

[toupsie]

Works great on my Mac OS X machine -- no surprise. Might be a Domain Name Server problem with your Internet Service Provider. Or another possibility is that 'citypaper.com' has banned you from their web server for some reason. It is a simple task to prevent IP ranges from contacting a server.

One thing that I do when I'm having problems is go to Anonymizer and enter in a web site. That way, you try a second route to the destination.

[Norman Conquest]

It might not be you -- your home internet service provider could be having DNS or routing problems.

All of the (whoever.com, whatever.net) domain names on the internet are matched up with the real physical addresses (100.2.34.116) of web servers by a set of master tables, the Domain Name Service. These periodically update one another. Sometimes the address lsists are corrupted in transit and internet service A can no longer find a valid route to service B until their next successful update.

It might also be some malicious denial-of-service prankster making citypaper hard to reach, or some actual physical interruption of your upstream path...

If it persists, ask your ISP's tech support to test the suspect address from their side.

You can try this command also after making sure you do not have host file entries.

ping www.citypaper.com

If this returns an IP address then DNS lookups are working although your ISP may have an invalid entry. You can also try to connect using the IP address directly.

http://192.245.12.221

If this works then routing is working by not DNS

You didn't say what kind of system you are running, I'm going to assume it's Windows.

The first thing I would do is open an MS-DOS prompt (Start->Programs->MS-DOS Prompt or Start->Run->cmd.exe) and type in the following:

ping 192.245.12.221

If don't you see a response like this:

PING 192.245.12.221 (192.245.12.221): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.245.12.221: icmp_seq=0 ttl=47 time=342.3 ms
64 bytes from 192.245.12.221: icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=170.3 ms

64 bytes from 192.245.12.221: icmp_seq=3 ttl=47 time=169.1 ms

--- 192.245.12.221 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 169.1/263.0/370.3 ms

Then I would verify you're connected to your ISP. Did you dial-up with a modem? Or do you have DSL or Cable?

If you get a similar reponse to what I did, then I would run the following command:

nslookup www.citypaper.com

You should see something like this in response:

Server: 10.0.0.3
Address: 10.0.0.3:53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.citypaper.com cannoncial name = citypaper.com.
Address: 192.245.12.221

If you don't get anything like this back, then you need to re-check your TCP/IP settings, specifically your DNS Server, as it would appear your machine can't do name lookups.

If you don't know how to check that, I'd call your ISP and have them walk you through it.

Thanks to all for your suggestions !!!!!!!
The anonymizer site did the trick !!!!!
That's one of the great things about FR, many different solutions available to computer problems in less than 30 minutes.

Thanks again !!!!!
