I'm trying to access a site that has a port number
appended to the url (http://upipe0.schmolie.com:9999) but
get a "Cannot find server or DNS Error" message. The
webmaster of the site has assured me the url is good. I
expect to be prompted for userid/pwd but never get that
far. I'm behind a SMC Barricade router and cable modem
running XP and IE6. ISP says they are not blocking that
port. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
 
- try to ping that server (use command "ping upipe0.schmolie.com" from
command prompt)
- if that fails, you can tro to check if your DNS server recognices that
server. Run command "nslookup upipe0.schmolie.com". You should get tcp/ip
address of that server.
- if ping is ok, try command "telnet upipe0.schmolie.com 9999". if no
firewall is blocking the connection, you should get connection.
- finally check SMC Barricade's log and configuration. It might block your
connection.

FWIW it works for me. HOSTS problem?
