Josh,

Originally I thought that my traffic was being dropped by ATDN but when 
I tried different sites on the ATDN network, I had no problems, I tried 
www.aol.com, www.netscape.com and I can get to foxnews.com and 
reuters.com too. Seems the problem is only with www.cnn.com.

When I try to view the page in the browser,  it just fails at the 
'waiting for www.cnn.com' stage after connecting. I am connecting from 
AS29032.

PS. Randy sorry about the html, :(
