website not working with leading www

Post by OliMuc »

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that http://www.usenetexplorer.com seems to be broken (http://usenetexplorer.com works).

The links within UE (Help - About - Homepage) however refer to the www one.

Seems to be a DNS Issue ... I can ping usenetexplorer.com and can't ping http://www.usenetexplorer.com (No DNS Entry)

Regards,
Oli

I think it is how web hosting handles it (I chatted with them they have no idea), it looks like old IE and google chrome don't have problem with this.

When pinging from command prompt it removes www. unlike when pinging http://www.google.com

I:\Documents and Settings\daemon>ping www.usenetexplorer.com

Pinging usenetexplorer.com [66.7.211.164] with 32 bytes of data:

I:\Documents and Settings\daemon>ping www.google.com

Pinging www.google.com [216.58.196.228] with 32 bytes of data:
