Safari Help

[erikson14]

I've been having trouble getting a file from a site I had no problem with before my recent Safari update (I have Mac osX10.5.8) It tells me the browser is unable to connect to server h1408923.stratoserver.net Is this caused by the Java applet or new shockwave flash or is it probably just a server outage. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

You need to determine if this is truly a connection error or a problem with Safari.

To check if the remote server is responding to ping requests (which can mean it's running or not), to go Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal. A command prompt appears. Type the following and press enter:

ping h1408923.stratoserver.net

If you see something like this:

PING h1408923.stratoserver.net (85.214.115.155) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from copyrightsprotect.de (85.214.115.155): icmp_req=1 ttl=46 time=161 ms
64 bytes from copyrightsprotect.de (85.214.115.155): icmp_req=2 ttl=46 time=163 ms
64 bytes from copyrightsprotect.de (85.214.115.155): icmp_req=3 ttl=46 time=163 ms
64 bytes from copyrightsprotect.de (85.214.115.155): icmp_req=4 ttl=46 time=163 ms
64 bytes from copyrightsprotect.de (85.214.115.155): icmp_req=5 ttl=46 time=163 ms

That means the server is running. (Don't worry if the name of the servers don't match.) Press CONTROL-C to stop the list. Then you can close the Terminal window.

Now this just means that the server is running and returning PING requests. That doesn't necessarily mean that the function you're trying to call on the remote server is working, but it's a start.

ok I did that and got the response you listed , what do I do now? Would Java or flash have any affect on this issue, since my browser was recently updated?
thanks
