under the command prompt i can ping certain web sites such as www.yahoo.com, but i can't ping www.microsoft.com.

i have pinged microsoft in the past, but now i just get a timed out response???

i have no problems being online, just can't ping some web sites and wasn't sure why?

any thoughts?

I can't either but I can browse to it. They probably have the server set to not reply somehow. They HAVE had some serious server attacks in the past.
