net weirdness, posted via email

[redbird]

It appears that my only net connectivity at the moment is via email.

I have no Web connectivity at the moment. Email seems fine, as is ftp to Panix. My Usenet connection is happy, and that's via a newsserver in Germany. But I can't get to any Web site, including www.panix.com. (Also, no LJ, of course, no weather or news or what-have-you. And yes, I have tried several different TLDs, including .gov and .uk.) I do so much of what I do by Web and email that I forgot the rest of the protocols until I was typing this email entry.

I don't understand this. Since it happened after I rebooted this machine, I'm going to try rebooting again, and hope that doesn't lose me email connectivity as well. (cattitude, who understands our hardware better than I do, isn't home right now to ask.)

If you really need me urgently, you have my phone number.

ETA: Yes, rebooting has fixed it.
