Pinging fan1.sports.vip.scd.yahoo.com [66.218.71.188] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

well, i had in idea and unplugged the LAN cable, disabled wireless and put in my UMTS card ... and bam, everything worked fine.

so it's either my broadband router blocking traffic or my internet provider blocking the whole fantasy site
(but sports.yahoo.com is working, just not the fantasy link there.


strange

Yeah.  a 100% packet loss.  That would be bad.

The last 4 or so hops would be yahoo.com IP's.  I'd call up equinix.net and ask 'em wtf is up.  That's where your connection is dying.  If the next hop isn't their fiber, then they should at least be able to find out who it should be.

thanks bods, Ive now ent a mail to their support team

when i use my dial-up connection from the same notebook it's working perfectly

[Derek Bodner]

Yeah.  Definitely an ISP problem, not a yahoo problem.
