I could ping Geocities, but not livejournel

I have a theory about how that may have happened...

I'd be very interested in your theory.

I thought it had something to do with the distance to the server or ping timeout, but that is more of a guess.

I've not experienced that problem again despite working as a network engineer for 20 years
