A few hours ago a specific website http://www.jpost.com became inaccessible in Firefox, and began to behave as if unrecognized by the DNS. Calling its URL caused my own home page to be displayed instead (this is what happens when a non-existent URL is entered in the navigation field). When this continued for so long as to become suspicious, I logged into WinXP in VirtualBox, and found that the same website is accessed normally, so there is nothing wrong with the website, which made me think that I needed a new profile.
The new profile is also unable to access the website. The same thing happens on Opera and on Konqueror, so the problem has nothing to do with a specific browser. There is also no problem with other websites.
I am behind two separate firewalls (hardware in my router and openSuSE software.
I am out of ways to diagnose the problem. Does it make sense to anyone?
Maybe the site has some funky detection going on, based upon your location rather than UA or browser settings. Opened right up for me in FF2, Opera & Konq on OS 11.0 and FF2 & SeaMonkey on OS/2. I only have a hardware router/firewall to go through. Running traceroute out to it on OS/2 & OS saw big DNS delay, and two IPs for www.jpost.com: 98.142.96.40 & 98.142.98.40. -- No Jesus - No peace , Know Jesus - Know Peace Team OS/2 ** Reg.
