Can anyone get to Travel.state.gov?

I’ve been trying to download a passport application for 2 days but can’t get to U.S. Passports. When I try “ping travel.state.gov” I get an unable to find host. Pinging www.state.gov works just fine but that’s not where the passport applications are kept.

Any ideas?

Mods: I had no idea where to put this or even if it was an appropriate SDMB question. Move or close at your discretion.

I just tried and got there with no problem.

Firefox. Windows XP.

Doesn’t work for my Vista Firefox. Would you mind pinging it and telling me what IP it returns? I might have a DNS problem.

IE 9, Canada, Windows 7. I can get there fine, IP shows 207.192.73.31 - although it says that it’s resolved as travel.his.com and the 4 test packets are lost. Huh.

A handy site to bookmark

Interesting. I was able to get there with the IP. I guess it is a DNS issue. I’ll let the network guys know.

Thanks for the link KneadToKnow. I’ve never seen that site before. Very handy.

This thread can be closed now as far as I’m concerned.

Closed at the request of the OP.
