Re: some external domains not resolving

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If tracert resolves it, then it isn't a DNS problem, but I would double
check that you are getting the correct IP address (66.18.102.194). Here is
something else to try:

Open a command prompt and type "telnet www.tnchamber.org 80" without the
quotes, and hit enter. This will tell you if the problem is related to your
web browser or something on the network. If telnet connects, the command
window will go blank. Type anything in the window and hit enter again to
disconnect. You'll see some HTML output from the web server and be back at a
command prompt. If you get "Connect failed" then something is blocking this
site, or you aren't resolving it to the correct IP address locallly. If you
are able to connect with telnet, it's likely a browser configuration
problem, perhaps related to the proxy (if you use one).

problem - a user is trying to access a website www.tnchamber.org but
can't, I've tried from many workstations within the office and can't
access this one website, all others can be accessed on the web. A tracert
resolves the name and can start a trace - there is no website blocking on
the firewall. The ISP can access the website from within their network
which we are a part of..... so the restriction seems to be coming from
inside but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
