[Lazarus] Can't connect to FPC site

[Hess, Philip J]

In the for-what-it's-worth category:

On a Mac at home, ping, traceroute and whois all return reasonable results for 62.166.198.202:

ping -o 62.166.198.202
PING 62.166.198.202 (62.166.198.202): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 62.166.198.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=45 time=261.295 ms

--- 62.166.198.202 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 261.295/261.295/261.295/nan ms

But entering 62.166.198.202 in any browser just hangs. Or actually, all hang browsers except for iCab (www.icab.de), which eventually times out:

Network Error
An error occurred while accessing "62.166.198.202".
The Server did not respond within a certain time. Maybe the server is down.
(Network Error #-1001)


Does this make any sense?

Thanks.

-Phil

I just went there, and it's fine.

Have you checked, if it is DNS, or connectivity?
http://62.166.198.202  => should get you to the bugtracker.

If it does, you can put the IP in your host file (until you know why you 
DNS server does not resolve this) If it's in your host file, it should 
work for www too.
