If you have reached this page, it is because of one of the following reasons: 1.You have referred to www.isi.edu by its IP address, which has changed to 128.9.176.20, 2.You have referenced www.isi.edu and your Domain Name Service still has the old IP address. If this symptom persists after a resonable amount of time, please contact your system administrator with the information from number 1. 3.You have made some other reference that does not point to our new web server. To get to our new server, use: http://www.isi.edu/ if you landed here using the old IP address or http://128.9.176.20/ if you've already tried www.isi.edu (see reason number 2 above). Please make a note of this change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comments and Questions regarding this site may be sent to action@isi.edu. @@@@@@@@@@ # ping www.iana.org PING VENERA.ISI.EDU (128.9.176.32): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 128.9.176.32: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=90.023 ms 64 bytes from 128.9.176.32: icmp_seq=3 ttl=246 time=80.949 ms 64 bytes from 128.9.176.32: icmp_seq=4 ttl=246 time=85.716 ms 64 bytes from 128.9.176.32: icmp_seq=5 ttl=246 time=80.661 ms 64 bytes from 128.9.176.32: icmp_seq=6 ttl=246 time=86.847 ms ^C --- VENERA.ISI.EDU ping statistics --- 7 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 28% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 80.661/84.839/90.023 ms @@@@@@@@@@ Portability in action....it looks like IANA has moved 12 doors down the street... -- Jim Fleming UNETY Systems, Inc.
