Try if you can connect to the server using telnet on port 80: telnet cincinnati.com 80 (I use the indentation to distinguish commands and their output from my remarks; do not type any spaces at the beginning of the lines.) You should get this response: Trying 216.68.247.10... Connected to cincinnati.com. Escape character is '^]'. If that does not work then we know that you have a basic network problem, at least for connections to cincinnati.com. (I think this is unlikely, given that you can connect to all other sites normally.) If it does work then you can check whether you can access the /blogs/politics content. To request it, send these three lines to the server: HEAD /blogs/politics HTTP/1.1 Host: cincinnati.com Important: There really are three lines to send to the server; the last one is empty, so you have to press ENTER twice after you type "Host: cincinnati.com". This is the response that I get: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:40:51 GMT Server: Apache X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6 Vary: Cookie X-Pingback: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/xmlrpc.php Location: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Let us know what you see when you try this. To end the telnet session, simply send an undefined command to the server, for example "x" + ENTER and you should be returned to your shell prompt with the message "Connection closed by foreign host". -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
