How do you know? Have you left your keyboard long enough to go get a
cup of coffee at an internet cafe or anywhere else with a computer that is NOT on your home network and try to access the site? Mxsmanic wrote: Scott writes: Who's computer is it then? Maybe they need to have it checked. I meant that the problem is not at my end. |

OK I'll bite. I will answer each of your questions below (where you
wrote your questions) Mxsmanic wrote: Scott writes: Good one. I don't consider a loss of civil liberties due to cowardice to be good. This one I can't answer. How are any loss of liberties atrributable to cowardice of the USAF as you claim? Maybe you mean the loss of liberties because of terrorist attacks and the knee jerk reactions that ensue to "protect lives"? With that, I would agree that it is not good to exchange liberties for security. But, that's just how I feel. How many French are in any sort of armed conflict (right or wrong) around the world? I don't know. How is that relevant? Cowards would not be in armed conflicts, therefore if the French are not in armed conflicts, they themselves could be called cowards. Air Force folks are in armed conflicts, so how would you consider them cowards? I wouldn't consider anyone in the military as being a coward, U.S. or otherwise. I was talking about the civilian population. So why do you say the Air Force is cowardly for not letting YOU see their site? They are military, not civilian. Now it sounds like you are squirming to change your argument. |

So where do you get updates on domain names from? Since I have a nameserver, the updates come directly from the authoritative name servers for each domain, in real time. Without that, your packets should go to some default server somewhere. They don't go anywhere if the DNS cannot resolve the name. Maybe the problem lies with THAT server, wherever it is. I can't reach the servers with direct IP addressing, either. Do you have a router running on your system with any sort of firewall? Yes. But there is nothing in the firewall that says "exclude Air Force traffic." -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I'm not sure you're getting what I'm saying...maybe losing it in the translation somewhere. I can get Army, Marines, Navy AND Air Force sites. None are blocked here. Where is "here"? Others in countries outside of the U.S. can get the Air Force site. Why are you the only one that has chimed in and said it can't be seen? Maybe I'm the only one trying from a region that frightens the Air Force. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

This one I can't answer. How are any loss of liberties atrributable to cowardice of the USAF as you claim? That's not what I claimed. The loss of civil liberties is attributable to cowardice in the population in general. Maybe you mean the loss of liberties because of terrorist attacks and the knee jerk reactions that ensue to "protect lives"? In part, yes. With that, I would agree that it is not good to exchange liberties for security. But, that's just how I feel. That's how the founders of the country felt, too, as well as a couple of million people who fought to protect those liberties. Cowards would not be in armed conflicts ... Wise men wouldn't be in armed conflicts, either. ... therefore if the French are not in armed conflicts, they themselves could be called cowards. So anyone who isn't violent and fighting is a coward? Air Force folks are in armed conflicts, so how would you consider them cowards? They don't let people visit their Web sites. They must be afraid of something. So why do you say the Air Force is cowardly for not letting YOU see their site? Because I don't see any other reason for blocking it. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I understand that. But you don't have a range of IP addresses blocked
in which the USAF site might be in do you? Mxsmanic wrote: Scott writes: Do you have a router running on your system with any sort of firewall? Yes. But there is nothing in the firewall that says "exclude Air Force traffic." |

Oops, sorry...thought I'd made that clear in previous posts..."Here" is
the USA. What would it be from your region that frightens the Air Force? Not sure I'm making the connection to what you are trying to say.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. The other computers are not on your
network, either at your home or using the same ISP? Mxsmanic wrote: Scott writes: How do you know?
