Hi,

i have recently been looking at a pc using windows xp home sp2, bt yahoo
broadband 2mb service and a BT speedtouch 330 usb modem, the problem is the
following, the user cannot access one particular domain from his pc, the
domain in question being www.fluor.com , i can access this domain from any
other pc i have tried, and also accessed it when i plugged the users pc into
my internet connection.

i have reinstalled and reformatted pc , cleaned spyware , changed mtu
settings for lan adapters,disabled xp firewall, removed ms patch ms05-019
used different browsers, changed ie security settings but still i cannot
access the fluor domain through his internet connection with bt.

im thinking now that maybe fluor (the company he works for) might have
barred his ip address range from bt

he has sp2 running and was able to get to the website until recently which
makes me think that one of the latest ms patches could be to blame for
cocking things up, anyway removing ms05-019 didnt work maybe i should try
removing some more patches that are recent.

i hope someone can help with this, any ideas?

You worthless piece of shit.

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.

James,
www.fluor.com canonical name = fluor.com.
Name: fluor.com
Address: 208.246.14.35
Name: fluor.com
Address: 141.197.4.200

both of the IP addresses listed above resolve to fluor.com. Open a web
browser and go to http://<ip-address>. If the site comes up then it is
DNS issue with your provider, if it does not come up then then your ISP or
fluor.com are blocking access.
