Flemming. Bring up your MSDOS (or whatever XP calls it now) window and
type in:

tracert home.maine.rr.com

you should see something like this:

Tracing route to home.maine.rr.com [154.6.66.43]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.1
2 15 ms 16 ms 17 ms 69.73.126.1
3 17 ms 13 ms 16 ms 24.214.0.178

10 28 ms 27 ms 27 ms home.maine.rr.com [154.6.66.43]

Trace complete.

If it goes berserk with lots of * showing a broken link, just let it keep
trying. His webpage on RoadRunner in Maine works great and you can see my
link to it is also good from South Carolina. Let's see where the link
between your computer and his webpage is broken.

It is also very helpful if you copy the trace and send it to your internet
provider to help their network people get the problem fixed from their
upstream providers.

If that trace fails to start at all, the problem is in your internet
provider's DNS, the server that converts home.maine.rr.com into the IP
address 154.6.66.43 for your computer to all it. Computers only call IP
addresses and if the server can't find it, it'll just dead end or tell you
it doesn't exist. If the first trace fails try:

tracert 154.6.66.43

If that trace does work, contact your internet provider and tell them their
DNS server is having a bad day and to please refresh his DNS data.

Danmark isn't China. I don't think your socialists have anything
