I'm sure it's set up not to allow ping. In the same way, I haven't been able to ping cnn.com, which is working fine here.
Furthermore, Firefox in the WinXP virtual machine has no trouble with the problematic server.
My conclusion is that the server is ok, and somehow all three browsers (or something that they have in common) are screwed up.

Firefox Extensions in OS and WinXP are synchronized with Xmarks. Whatever is in one is also in the other. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
