Need help Verifying if its website or my PC.

[A31Chris]

I have tried this website with Opera and IE 5.5 the ghostlytalk download or stream will not work. Ghostlytalk.com will usually not even respond to pings. However, pinged it little while ago and it responded. Went to website and once again attempted to download or stream ghostlytalk on Opera and IE. Didnt have success with either. Corresponding with lady named Colette from website through Email. She says works fine for her but may be cached on her system.

Dr. Robert Schoch's website

Can someone else please try to download/stream ghostlytalk from this webpage in Opera/IE and tell me whether its my PC setup or not?

[General Winters]

Downloads and streams fine for me.

Win98 FE.. IE 6

OK thanks General Winters. So I know it must be my setup. I'm on home network behind a D-Link router on a Pentium ONE with Windows 95. Would the network setup stop me from being able to download this?

OK just had roommmate try to download on his system and it wont work for him either. So it must be the network setup as I posted for help on the Opera community forum and got the same resonse from someone that they've had no trouble. I'll have to look into this. Maybe its the D-Link router?

Edit: OK we need professional help with this problem. My roommate on his system cannot download or stream from that website either and he's running 900mhz system or something with Windows 98se or 2000. Something like that. On our respective systems we can get to pretty much any other web page we want. However neither of us from our home network can download or stream Ghostlytalk off off Robertschoch.net. Here is a cut'n paste of me pinging the server:

It now responds to pings with my system which is something it wouldn't do before but I cannot get anything more than that from it it appears. Anyone have any idea?

[A31Chris]

I take it from the silence that no one really has any idea what the problem may be? Whether it may be the D-Link router or something else?

[A31Chris]

It seems I've found out what the problem is. My roommates friend came over who is a Network administrator. He took a look at the problem.

Apparently the chunk of internet I'm on and the chunk of internet Ghostly talk is on is owned by 2 different providers. These providers are in dispute over whatever and have severed direct connection with one another. So he accessed his PC in Calif and downloaded the files to there and then uploaded them to us.
