Here is what I get from Goggle Chrome -

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://www.linuxforums.org/ might be temporarily down or 
it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

So, that eliminates this being a browser specific issue especially when 
you consider that I also can not connect with Telnet either.

I wonder is someone can answer a question for me? I was reading about 
routing tables, and according to my understanding of what I read, the 
routing table should point at a DNS server however my third hop after 
localhost to the DSL modem, from the DSL modem to the net goes to a 
Qwest host address, but it is not one of the Qwest DNS server's ip 
addresses, and is not the Open DNS server I am now configured to use. 
Why would this be?

Thanks.

Later, Ray Parrish
