Well, they seem to be pretty selective about it. PriusChat is the only
web site that I can't seem to contact, either by http or ping. I can
ping almost every address I try, but sites such as Amazon or
MacDailyNews do not respond to pings, although the web pages work fine.
This discussion has gotten way off-topic for this group. At least it's
been confirmed that PriusChat hasn't gone down. I'll figure out my
little problem at some point. Thanks to everyone for the help!

PriusChat isn't down and it's not a DNS problem. That leaves
firewall/router/application security possibilities. Good luck!

Sure there is. Terminal. Then use any UNIX command you like.

That's not the same.

It's now time for healing, and for fixing the damage the GOP did to America.

Yes, it is. The OS gives you access to a command line interface.
