Re: TECH: Check Access To Our New Server Please (fwd)

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@CUSD.CHICO.K12.CA.US>]

Dear LM_NET Friends,

Thanks for helping me with my server access question. Strange results. In
a period of approximately eight hours:
  112  able to connect
   22  unable to connect

Replies came from all over the country and several from abroad. Of those
who could not connect, four said that they received a "No DNS entry"
error message. No particular region had trouble connecting.

Question:  Is there any way to know what is happening from this data? Why
were 16% of those trying to connect unable to do so? Seems like a high
rate of non-connection to me. Is it?

Thank you very much for helping, and also thanks to those who made such
nice comments about our website.
