Well gee...
Instead of pulling a coin out of my pocket I'll just spill the beans here, in public...
For quite some time now whenever a site moves to another IP I can't get IE to find it. I haven't been able to go to Amazon.com or a few other sites. I had lost mapquest for a while but I did something (I wish I could remember what it was, I actually figured it out and got it back.) Now I can't get here without plopping my fanny in the recliner. The bad part is I need bifocals (which I don't have) to read from the big screen across the room and still manipulate a keyboard (I can't type very well.) I've tried deleting cookies, files, history and bookmarks referring to the sites I'm unable to reach, etc. I traced back and got the new ip for this site and can get to the front page but any other pages come up with the "server being moved" box. IE is latest ver. and all updates are installed. Any clues will be helpful. TIA

Beav, it sounds a lot like a DNS problem to me. Try pinging the sites in question and see if the correct IP addresses is being resolved. Perhaps the DNS server you're using is caching old records for too long. I've got a test server that's usually up that you can try if you want. 66.64.16.194

The problem doesn't appear on this computer though (XP), and both share the same router/connection.

If it's only happening to sites that change IP's then it is more likely a DNS issue. Windows 2000 will cache DNS information and you can clear it by running the "ipconfig /flushdns" command. You can also see if you ISP can keep their DNS servers more up to date or provide you with additional servers.

Beav, you might want to try installing SP3. It's supposed to fix a lot of issues, including some relating to DNS. Also, make sure that you don't have any unnecessary entries in the HOSTS file.

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size - I have this problem with Win2000 and previous OS's on my own network only when behind the router. Windows XP is more immune to this issue because it will use automatic MTU path discovery by default. You can determine the MTU for your network by using "ping -f www..com -l 1344" changing 1344 to get the highest possible number without getting an error stating the packet needs to be fragmented. You can search your windows registry with regedit.exe to see if the MTU key already exists, however, it should be in the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcp/ip\Parameters\Interfaces\{some class id}\ with the key being named "MTU". Even if this is not the problem it is still a good idea to set it. Proxy/Firewall/Antivirus software - either on the Win2000 machine or with the router TCP/IP protocol - possibly malfunctioning. Can be removed/replaced in Win2000 by going into "My Network Places" properties-->"Local Area Connection" properties Networking Services - has been known to cause browsing issues (add/remove programs-->add/remove windows components) Which version of Win2000 do you have? (Pro/Server/Advanced Server)

Thanx guys, this will give me a bit to chew on. I'll give it a try tomorrow night.

Beav,
What router/connection are you using? I'm just wondering whether there may be a bug issue with the firmware of your router. Also, could you provide the results of an "IPCONFIG /ALL"? I would be curious to see what DNS server your Win2k machine is using. I would agree with Earthworm's suggestion with checking the proxy/firewall/antivirus software. What anti-virus software are you using? Does your IE LAN settings have a proxy server checked? I do remember seeing this problem once, unfortunately, I don't remember what the fix is... Crap... VK |

Well I did the sp3 and did some further looking around, all to no avail. The hosts file was something I had forgotten about, so kudos for that one. I found the reference to this site, deleted it and voila!, I'm here.
Thanx to all, and the trophy goes to Dr. Kuoh, for this round.
