cant ping msn, but I can use IExplorer [modified]
-
I have a DSL connection, then it goes to a 2WIRE router that is set to a bridge. That connects to my LINKSYS wireless router and then my PC connects. DSL -- 2WIRE --- LINKSYS --- PC ( the PC is connected via cable tho ) I can use Internet Explorer to surf the web just fine but if I ping www.msn.com, I get a it times out every time. I disbaled norton and tyhe firewall on the linksys. I am running win2k. I cant access the 2wire since it acts as a bridge. Note: I can ping www.msn.com from the router, but not my pc Can someone please help? Thanks, Nick -- modified at 16:08 Saturday 14th October, 2006

I can't ping MSN from anything. It's entirely possible that MSN doesn't respond to ICMP Echo request packets. In other words, you can't ping MSN because it won't respond to the request. More and more sites are doing this to reduce their attackable surface.

Well I can ping msn from my router. I was just using it as a test. The real problem is that I cant receive packets from the outside through my bridge

Your best source of information and support is going to be the manufacturer of your bridge.
