I had a problem like this 3 years ago. I couldn't reach the server which had some important credit card sales on it (I also sell photography how-to booklets over the Internet). It turned out to be a router problem with SprintNET. When I wrote SprintNET to complain, their reply was basically "(a) You're not our customer so we don't need to answer you, and (b) we're working on it and it'll be fixed when it's fixed."

Not their customer. True, perhaps, but it's like if a delivery truck rolls up and stops on my foot and I ask them to move their truck and their reply is that since they don't have a business relationship with me, they don't need to move the truck.

BTW, I'm always curious when these "router problems" turn up. I THOUGHT the Internet was designed so that a problem in one place would simply be sidestepped with the message being rerouted another way. Another government failure?
