Hello,

I am unable to connect to www.walmart.com for some reason. This is
happening on multiple browsers (IE, Chrome). This has been happening
for a few months now.

All other websites that I frequently visit are loading without any
problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve this
problem?

Thank you,
Kevin Gravelle

You might have a corrupted DNS server.

Try this: Run www.enhanceie.com/dl/netchecksetup.exe. On the
"Analyze Site" tab, put http://www.walmart.com, run the test, and
email the results to me.

I am having this same problem, intermittently, with other sites. Be
very curious to know what you discover.

I forgot to mention that the problem only occurs with Fiddler
loaded...

Also, in addition to having the problem with www.walmart.com, I'm also
having problems with www.bluefly.com and www.overstock.com.

I tried pinging www.walmart.com and received the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin>ping www.walmart.com
Ping request could not find host www.walmart.com. Please check the
name and try
again.

Similar ping results were obtained from bluefly and overstock as well.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Eric,

Have you had a chance to investigate the results of the net checkup I
sent you?

Thanks,
Kevin
