www.adobe.com

Attention PlusNet users:  Can you open www.adobe.com in your web browser?  I cannot and am completely stumped.  If other PlusNet users can view the Adobe web site front page, then I have to find the cause of the problem in my equipment.

Re: www.adobe.com

Yeah I tried with FF and IE7 from here, no problems.
Have you tried the IP address directly in your browser?
192.150.18.101
If the IP works your looking at a DNS issue, you may also want to try deleting history files etc.

Re: www.adobe.com

Have you got Flash installed on your PC ?
Adobe use a lot of it  on their site - especially since  they bought Macromedia  Angry
if not - get it here

Makes no difference whatsoever in being able to resolve http://www.adobe.com or http://192.150.18.101

Works for me.
What are you using for DNS (you may want to try OpenDNS)?
Can you ping / traceroute www.adobe.com?

It's worth checking which gateway you're on - if it's a routeing problem, a reboot of your router might get you a different gateway.

Re: www.adobe.com

I can browse  the adobe web site now.  I changed routers, substituting a SmartAX MT882 for a BT Voyager 2100.  Strange why the Voyager 2100 was blocking http traffic from the www.adobe.com server.  I will go through the config file to search for clues.
BTW, I reboot my router every morning after routinely switching off last thing at night.

Re: www.adobe.com

try a factory reset of the router using the reset switch (you'll prob need a straightened paperclip or sewing needle to press it)
Had a similar issue with my Netgear router when I migrated to PN, removing and restoring the power didn't fix it.
Can only put it down to the firmware going a bit bizarre.

Re: www.adobe.com

Thanks for that suggestion.  It's hard to believe that just one web site was unbrowseable through this cause.  I was able to browse many other web sites without a single failure.
I am in the process of selecting a paper clip for the necessary factory reset operation.

Re: www.adobe.com

I reset the BT Voyager 2100 as was suggested, reconfigured the settings and still I cannot connect to www.adobe.com using that router.
I tried each of the following firmware versions without success: -
cfe-voyager2100-v021801_13_a023g1
cfe-voyager2100-v021801_17g_a023g1
cfe-voyager2100-v021801_17i_a023g1
I can ping without a problem.

Strange eh?
All my other routers (Solwise SAR110, SAR130 and SmartAX MT882) connect without a problem.

Re: www.adobe.com

Have you checked the MTU setting in the router?

Re: www.adobe.com

Thanks.  Yes I have.  MTU is set to 1430 which value was arrived at by trial and error.  I experience almost no packet fragmentation with 1430 (AOL and TalkTalk users should however use 1400, I have determined by trial and error).
I pinged www.adobe.com with the -f option and no packet fragmentation was reported.
Lord knows what peculiarities exist within the BT Voyager 2100.  It's not my regular router: I possess it because the DMT utility for that particular router is very useful for diagnostics.
