Actually unknown host would not result if they rejected pings. You would get no reply. Check to verify you can see their MX record on your DNS server.

It might be yours or their fire wall blocking pings.... Might be DNS related if their records were changed recently. (you - I assume use a different name server at work than home) so their changes may have not propagated throughout the internet. Have you tried any DNS related diag tools? IE samspade, etc.? ------ Dustin Krysak -----Original Message----- From: pauli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: February 16, 2002 4:42 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: connectivity problem Hello, We have this weird situation at my company. we are unable to send email to a particular company. I try the usual network check. to my surprise I was getting no response. (i.e: when I try to ping their web site, it came back unknown host..) But I was able to get to their website at home. I thinking its somehow dns related. Can anyone explain why its was ok connecting to them at home and not at work. We don't have a proxy server. thanks pauli . ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
