days, Mozilla Firefox just hangs "connecting to ...." How can I tell if they have started blocking IP addresses from Colombia?
Try using a few traceroute servers to see if other IP addresses from Colombia other countries are able to get to them.
Other than that, I don't think you can tell from the outside.
Neil: Thank you! I didn't know trace route servers existed. From the below, it looks to me as if there may be a problem, at the router past the last one I was able to get to, since the University of Maryland and Careleton University trace route servers also got stuck, just past where I got stuck. Possibly it's intermittent, since the site is showing "up" and I was able to get to it, using an Anonymous Web Browser. Snow in Houston? :-) Lanny
