Hi

I have a weird question that I thought maybe some mac experts could
help me with...

I have a Powermac G4 800 Mhz, running OS 10.3.2. I am connected to the
internet via ADSL (supplied by BT Openworld in the UK). I use a
modem/router to connect my machine to the ADSL line.

My connection is quite good and I don't have any complaints but I have
started to notice that some IP addresses are unreachable from my
machine. At first I thought they might just be down but now I've had
confirmation that other people can access them without any difficulty.

One example is f4.grp.yahoofs.com, or 66.218.66.255. I simply cannot
access it. When I ping it I get 100% packet loss and when I try and do
a traceroute, I just get endless lines of * * *.

This particular one is strange because Yahoo is now a partner in BT
Openworld.

What can I do to check my network settings? I have the DNS addresses
as they were recommended by BT Openworld (there are a list of about 12
IP addresses in my network preferences). Why would I be able to
connect to almost all servers but not to certain others? I don't
really know how to start to solve this but would love to learn.

Thank you so much in advance

-Vlad
