I can't connect to one particular website, which I need to, for work
reasons. Everything else appears OK.

Tried another computer, connected to same router - same result.

Plugged in directly using the ADSL modem - same result.

Connected via InfraRed to my mobile phone to Vodafone - site works
fine.

Therefore I assume some kind of BT network issue - can anyone advise?

www.flextronics.com but I know it works in ways other than through my
home BTBroadband connection.

Discovered I can't ping Flextronics IP address 205.173.129.11 -
everything else seems fine?

I'm at the limit of my knowledge (it wasn't a long journey!) and would
be glad of some ideas.

You can get something similar from the MS-DOS command window using
tracert <host> or tracert <IP>

PingPlotter is quite handy, because you can get it to automatically do
tracing every few minutes, for example, and it does a graph showing the
times for each hop on the route. In the past I've known some hosts not
to be available for users of one ISP. It's possible a router somewhere
is not sending the packets back down the correct connection, but it may
be on ome network overseas and not your ISP's fault (but bringing it
to their attention may get it fixed). Good luck!

I'm on BT Broadband 2Mb using a btbroadband.com DSL login and I can't get to
it either

Speeds have been terrible for me for months i.e. sub 1Mb

According to my router error log, a Zyxel Prestige P650-E1 there is no DNS
server available at various times throughout the day
55 Fri Mar 10 12:00:02 2006 PP17 INFO No DNS server available

No more info other than that

Just got this trace using WinMTR

Thanks for that - I saw the thread you contributed to on Jan 22nd,
which made me think this might be the issue.

Just checked what DNS the router has assigned

Active DNS: 62.6.40.162
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Looks like there has been a DNS problem

Going for a reboot of the router now

I was using Treewalk, but had to uninstall it in order to get any support
from BTBB regarding speed problems. Couldn't possibly be problems with BT's
network!

Think it's time to install it again, as I did find that it did a very good
job

I'm not sure it is a DNS problem - inputting the IP address still
doesn't work.
Traceroute stops at the final hurdle so that's presumeably just the
pings being rejected.

I'm a bit stuck really, but it's with BTOpenworld (by email) to look at.

In article Nicola Redwood says...


As it seems a DNS problem then you could think about running a private
caching DNS server to bypass your ISP's dodgy DNS.

I'm on BT broadband at home, and recently couldn't connect to my bank's
website. The bank swore blind that they were experiencing no problems, so I
tried from my mobile over GPRS. Site was up.

I called BT, who tried to make me revert to my USB modem. Eventually they
saw sense, make me ping the site, but said that the problem was unlikely to
be their fault. However, they said I should expect a call back from 'an
internet expert'.

I got no call, but after about 20 minutes the fault was magically corrected.

Your problem sounds rather similar.

Broadband users

e.g. http://www.flextronics.com

Others with 86.xxx.xxx.xxx addresses appear to be able to get to the site OK
