Linus,<br><br>It is not because ICMP does not reply that the server is down or having an issue :-)<br><br>Often it is blocked to avoid security risks or for other reasons... If you check <a href="http://www.admin.ch">www.admin.ch</a>, it won&#39;t answer ping but will work correctly. The only way to know if the server work is to actually establish a proper connection on the port 80 / 443 and make sure you get the content of the page you expected as you expected.<br>
<br>This is probably a matter of software issue (anything from loadbalancer, to backend server daemon not working or any other error...). <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Gregory<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/6/16 Linus Wegmann <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:linus.wegmann@gmx.ch">linus.wegmann@gmx.ch</a>&gt;</span><br>

<br>
but why is there no reply for an ICMP request?<br>
it sounds to me like no service is running on that server....<br>
<br>
good night to all!<div class="im"><br>

Arnold meant on server side, not on your side. The server accepts the connection, so there must be some software issue on the Confederation application side.<br>
