It would be easier to troubleshoot if you used a browser that returned a meaningful error message. "The page could not be found" could be just about anything. DNS, routing, broken link, etc. --------------- vickyr> i even tried the same thing under linux--->mozilla and i get site name not found which i believe is less meaningful than ie :)
this strongly suggests a DNS problem to my mind, at least. Have you verified that DNS is working properly? The one thing that I find myself saying nearly constantly to folks at work is, "A browser is not much of a diagnostic tool." Use something that generates a meaningful error message. (use dig(1), `telnet host 80`, traceroute, etc.) If you have already used these tools, my apologies; your first post was a little short on details. -- Scott Francis || darkuncle (at) darkuncle (dot) net illum oportet crescere me autem minui
