RE: Metalink gone to sleep ?????

I have no problem accessing metalink in NYC. Could this be a local DNS, network issues to certain locations?

>>> Samir.SARKAR_at_nottingham.sema.slb.com 11/21/01 08:35AM >>>
This is strange......I could not log into Metalink using the link metalink.oracle.com.
But I could log in using the link oracle.com/support/metalink.

Whats happening here, guysn and gals ??

OK, Let's do a poll. Someone else says they have access.

Could it be the browser?

I am using IE 6.0 on my NT Workstation 4.0 SP6a and I can't get in. I am going to try from one of the servers (IE 5.0) to see what the result is.

[...]

IE 5.0 SP2 --> no problem accessing MetaLink.

So it could either be my NT Workstation, or MetaLink doesn't support IE6.

Late last week I could access MetaLink, but I don't know if the LAN Services people here suddenly decided to push IE 6.0 on my workstation without telling me, will check.
