Family home FAQ Archives Tags Random Login New Consumer Tags: windows2008 network java Share: Twitter Facebook I've a week-old (authentic) set up of Windows 2008 R2 on my server at home. I choose to install the JRE on it so I can make use of the browser-based VPN at effort. But when I attempt to go to or java.net,
microsoft Office 2010 Activation, or sun.com, I get the "Unable to connect" error in the browser. Also, pinging these sites gives me "general failure", as does tracert. However,
Windows 7 Ultimate Key, DNS is working fine for both commands (an IP is being resolved), and every other machine on the network is able to see and ping all the sites. There are some other sites that show that behaviour (cnn.com is one) but there are also a lot that don't. For instance,
Microsoft Office Pro 2007, I can check out oracle.com and follow links for the JRE there,
Office 2007 Enterprise, but as soon as something tries to get to a sun domain the browser can't connect. The firewall is open - no incoming connections are being blocked. Discovery is on. The internal network map is correct. No VLANs are configured. The network adapter is a D-Link gigabit with flow control enabled. I am not unfamiliar with networking on Windows and Unix and I've taken the CCNA prep course but WTF causes a "general failure" in ping? (I realize that I could just download the offline JRE set up and use that. But now I need to figure out why some sites are inaccessible,
Office 2010 Key, even through ICMP, only to the server and not to any other machine on the network).
