Jon, have you tride traceroute (or whatever it is in Windows/DOS)?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Well, it looks like the URL is resolving properly so it's not a DNS issue but apparently there's no connectivity to the host. Since it's not computer-specific, there must be a firewall/router issue somewhere along the way. tommyrot's traceroute will help diagnose that. Initially, I'd say try rebooting your modem/router/firewall and see if that clears up the issue.
It does seem to be dying at the router:
>tracert www.salon.comTracing route to www.salon.com [206.80.4.40] over a maximum of 30 hops:

192.168.16.1 is my router's address. Be back in a flash....
Yeah, but the second link should be to your ISP.
Here's my tracert (which is strange in and of itself, but I can get to Salon):

OK, it's fixed.
Y'know, RCN always says that most problems can be solved by rebooting one's cable modem, but I never believe them...
Heh. That's always the first thing I do.
Agendus is very pretty, but isn't as well integrated with the treo as I'd like. Specifically, it seems to require stylus input a lot.
CSS question -- is there any way to make a three column display with fixed widths of columns 1 and 3, with the middle column fluid? I have tried absolute positioning, but I can't work out if there's a width I can specify for #2 that doesn't have it overflowing into #3.
ita, play around with this. [link]
