Thanks to Donna and others for several suggestions.  I used WWW.HP.COM
just to provide an example.  That was not the address I was trying to
trace when I encountered the problem.  I get the same symptoms whether
using an internal or external address, and when using a name or IP
address.  DNS is working fine.  Other machines (including another MPE
machine) can do traces on our network.  Loopback gives the same results.


Curiouser and curiouser...

some thoughts....

have you tried loopback? (127.0.0.1) or another internal server?  if so
-- what happened?  kinda looks to my like your 3000 is not set up to
reach the internet/outside.

www.hp.com is a tough cookie (is that a pun?). if you do a lookup on
it, you'll see two ip addresses.  i don't know what that will do to
tracert.  given that i can't tracert to jazz, it makes me wonder if hp
isn't doing some sort of filtering -- anti-DoS stuff.      - d
