[GLLUG] Web site access error & related diagnostics

Hi,

I think that the dns resolution might be the problem, name server lookup
here gets me the following ip for the domain nanosteps.net (69.93.1.52).

Question for David, I see that your trace route was to the address
69.93.1.56, is this the address you got from the nslookup? if so, I
think that would create the problem.

Here are some trace routes from my home network (suse) and from
Guatemala (Win server 2000), both accessed the site without any issues.
