It seems that http://technet.microsoft.com is unreachable from
several places. Here it resolves to technet.microsoft.akadns.net
(64.4.11.252), but doesn't answer ping's nor telnet to port 80.

I've tried using several looking glasses, but only
"downforeveryoneorjustme.com" seems to reach it.

Reachable here in Lincoln, Neb. with no issues. I'm thinking
akadns.net is probably Akamai DNS?

I'm on AT&T DSL in California - I can access the front page.

Also checked from work - U-Verse & a TelePacific T1 line both can access it.

It could have just been down temporarily.

HTTP looking glass or pings? I have yet to see a Microsoft server that
responds to ICMP. Only reliable method I've found is something like
tcptraceroute.

Working fine here: (am able to view website)

Thanks. I did only pings with the looking glasses.

Anyway, it's back now. Thanks for your help.
