Network connections hanging - further info - main

13 Feb 2009


      Well after a while I have just got a network connection hanging and
was able to do a traceroute to the site:-
chris$ traceroute www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk
    traceroute to www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk (195.224.249.41), 30 hops max,
    40 byte packets

Hmmmm.  The rest of the internet works fine, no problems at all but
any connection to anywhere on www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk just hangs.
A host or dig to www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk works fine.
So I think it something getting stuck at this end but I wish I could
work out what!
Ah, another clue (or not), connecting to www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk
from another computer on the LAN here works OK while the connections
from my desktop are still hanging.  Connecting from a different
browser on my desktop computer doesn't work though.
Any suggestions for further diagnosis?
