An example is www.sec.gov. Netscape reports that it is "Connecting", then "Waiting for reply", then the status line goes blank and the connection eventually times out with no data transferred. Using telnet to download the www page has similar results: monk% telnet www.sec.gov 80 Trying 204.192.28.13... Connected to www.sec.gov. Escape character is '^]'. GET / (no data is returned. The connection just sits forever.) What is strange is that a Sun workstation on the local network works ok! Any ideas?
