Works fine here. The point I was making is that pings nowadays are often dropped for some bizarre security reasons, so lack of ping is not a guaranteeed indicator of a web site being down. If the truth abuses you then you really got a problem....Originally posted by ChurchillAtW, just try www.giantgroup.com What is your result?Comment

Not bizarre at all. Plenty of good security reasons to block ping, from hiding your network from ping sweeps to preventing attacks, ever heard of a SMURF?Originally posted by AtWWorks fine here.
