Can you access other web sites from your PC?

Can you do a successful name resolution for the web site from your PC?

Code:

C:\>nslookup www.ibm.com
Server:  cns.beaverton.or.bverton.comcast.net
Address:  68.87.69.146

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.ibm.com.cs186.net
Address:  129.42.42.212
Aliases:  www.ibm.com

C:\>

Can you successfully telnet to port 80 of the web site? If so, can you successfully issue the "get ." command?

Code:

C:\>telnet www.ibm.com 80
get .
<too much output to paste>

If any of these steps fail, what error messages do you receive?

You may have an issue with the DNS configuration on your computer.

Try to browse to this URL: http://144.81.82.80

If `nslookup` can't find the IP address for http://www.ets.org, then you won't be able to browse to it.

You will either need to fix your DNS configuration or you can create a quick workaround by adding an entry to your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
