I get davidwinsemius$ host cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu is an alias for nature.Berkeley.edu. nature.Berkeley.edu has address 169.229.201.201 nature.Berkeley.edu has IPv6 address 2607:f140:0:8000::201 nature.Berkeley.edu mail is handled by 5 mx1.ist.Berkeley.edu. nature.Berkeley.edu mail is handled by 5 mx0.ist.Berkeley.edu. davidwinsemius$ host cnr.Berkeley.edu cnr.Berkeley.edu has address 169.229.201.201 When I attempt to open cnr.Berkeley.edu in a browser I get the welcome page from Berkeley's College of Natural Resources ... after redirection to https://nature.berkeley.edu/ When I try trimming the 'cran' from the original link: https://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.2 I get page not found from https://nature.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.2 So, how do we determine whether Bert's and my DNS servers have changed more recently (since we are both much closer to the Berkeley campus and perhaps Rolf just has an old ip address), or that Rolf has connection to a more uptodate DNS server? As with Bert my network-fu is inadequate to resolve this -- David > -- > Peter Dalgaard, Professor, > Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School > Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark > Phone: (+45)38153501 > Office: A 4.23 > Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com > > > > > > > > > David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
