www.networksolutions.com off the air today?

Can anyone verify that Network Solutions is off the air today or that its just
a problem on my side of the wire? I haven't been able to reach the website
all day and can't ping it either.

Traceroute follows:

Of course they might block ICMP.

I believe they have at least one other transit provider.
I have no idea what your normal path might look like to them.
Please check with your upstream provider before you check here.

Thanks,

Tony

I have no problem reaching them.

Thanks to all who responded so quickly. Looks like an Exodus problem for
sure. I've opened a ticket with Exodus.

well... not really an exodus problem. but it is fixed nonetheless....
