Hi,

For some reason, YouTube doesn't work for me in some web browsers. It
acts like the hostname is not found. When I do host "www.youtube.com"
lookups and tcptraceroute to port 80 and everything else I have tried
to diagnose it seems to work just fine. I'm not using a proxy, I don't
have youtube in my hosts file, and I haven't encountered this problem
with any other website, including all of Google's other sites which I
use frequently. I'm totally baffled.

Loads perfectly fine in:
lynx
links (text and graphical mode)
Opera

Does not load at all in:
Seamonkey
Konqueror
Firefox

I tried it at work from a Windows machine (and a different ISP) using
all of the above browsers and it worked fine. So I have no idea.

I have not tried to do a wireshark capture yet.

Has anyone seen this before or have any hints for me? I'm not a big
YouTube person so I'm more interested in why this is happening than
seeing videos. This has happened in the past with YouTube and after a
few weeks it started working normally again. Not sure how long it has
been since it stopped.

Thanks.
