Yes, the site I am trying to access is hosted by HostingcompanyA so I get the name of that company when I type the IP address in a browser on another computer. On the browser of machine running CF, if I try the IP address, I get connection timed out. > Where does it fail if you do a traceroute to the server? It times out from the first to 30th hop. All I see is hop count, asteriks on doing a traceroute. Are other servers from the same network able to connect to the > server? I do not have access so will have to ask the serveradmin to try those. The machine running CF belongs to HostingCompany B. I appreciate your assistance and time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359278 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
