This looks to be a truly excellent site. I have not gone through it all, as it is very extensive, but what I have seen does agree with the information I have accumulated in my mind for many years, and puts it into a well done format. And I am willing to trust what is new to me, as what I already "know" agrees with the material presented.

Thanks, John, for posting the URL

I wonder what the heck's going on: I tried the link when it first
arrived and got a "not found" error.

After Rob's comments, I tried again -- same error. :-(

I'll keep trying.

It must have been that all the traffic it received from our list was too much and we crashed the site. Laughing

It's working fine this afternoon and truly is a great, informative site. Thanks for sharing the link!

This is disturbing: I cleaned all my cookies, etc., from Google
Chrome, IE, and Firefox and tried all three -- can't get in with any
of them. And downfor... says it IS just me. :-(

If I don't get in later, I'll have to talk to Tech Support India, or

Ken: Try turning off your virus protection for a few minutes and then check the site. I'll bet it is some strange thing there which is causing your problems. One main reason I went to Apple was to get rid of the anti virus stuff, which drove me nuts. I am not an Apple snob, but it sure did get rid of a lot of things like you are having to deal with.

Thanks for the suggestion, Rob. But, NOT doing things like that is
how I've avoided almost all viruses for the 35 years I've been fooling
with microcomputers. :-)

Ken,

Did you try pinging the site? It should come back as 64.202.189.170. If there is no answer you probably have an ISP routing problem and you can try a tracert to batteryfaq.org to see where it fails.

If it resolves to a different address then whomever your DNS is has a problem. If it is a DNS issue change your DNS to 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 in your IP properties for that machine.

Ken,

It does resolve to the correct address, but then times out on the 19th
hop -- consistently the same routing and timeout location; is there a
way to change the routing?

Are you using "OpenDNS" or some other DNS server other than your ISP's? Could it be in your router?

This is a strange one.

Nope, I use bellsouth.net exclusively, which is why I suspect I'll
have to resort to tech support. The only router is my wifi access
point, which shouldn't be involved it this problem.

If we are talking about DSL check the filters ion all your phones.
The filter on one of my phones went bad and my system kept
shutting down. When I replaced the filter problem went away.
Tech support said filter problems can cause all kinds of
weird problems

David,

Yep, routed through proxify.com, we reached it.

I'll be curious to see if the same problem arises tomorrow. And what
bellsouth will have to say if it does.

Thanks,

Charles,

I am using DSL, but all the filters are in place. And this is the
only site with which I've had any significant problem; the problems
undoubtedly lie outside of my 3 acres. :-)

No unfortunately. I know of no way to source route IP like IBM protocols do. Please email me a copy of our tracert results.

The following DOS command will put the results in a file that you can send.

Tracert Batteryfaq.org >textfile.txt

Or you can just copy and paste the output in a note.

Yes, you have a routing issue.

If I see the trace route output and compare it to mine I probably can tell which router in the list has it's tables screwed up. You can complain to Bell South but you probably will not get anywhere. The problem could be anywhere along the 19 hops of the route.

Let's see what the trace route says.

You know this problem will magically go away whenever the failing router gets it's tables updated.

The site you are looking for is hosted in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Hopefully it is not a static route problem in someones router along the way.
