Why could I ping things with out the www but not with the www? The example I was given was 'ping -f sco.com'. The first thing I did wron= g was misspelled sco.com as scco.com and it pinged away. Then I added the= www and it wouldn't ping. I then pulled up the page with the www and the= re it was. So then what.... was there a redirection from the one w/o the = www to the one with? What is the unix trace route command? :-)Mike(-: ----- Original Message ----- From: JD Austin Sent: 2/5/2004 4:29:49 PM To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: ping -f address.com www is just a subdomain of a domain. www.site.com and site.com can have completely different addresses.
