Have you checked that the name www.openoffice.org resolves correctly (to 64.125.133.202) ? Have you tried ping & traceroute ... should tell you where it is failing ? If it really is the ISP - complain to the ISP (it is possible that there is a technical routing problem -- does sometimes happen) ... then write to slashdot.org ... this is the sort of story that they love. -- Alain Williams Parliament Hill Computers Ltd.
