I have a problem connecting to USPS at usps.com
I've tried usps.gov and tried using the ip address.

Anyone else had the same problem and found a solution?

At this point www.usps.com is the only website I cannot access.

1. How strange.
Are you sure you aren't infected with malware? Which browser(s) are you using? Try deleting all browser temp files and history, close all windows, launch a new one and try again.

a 'search page' or another error page?

6. Have you checked your HOST file?
Edited on Mon Feb-16-09 11:44 PM by RC
G:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Do you have more than one browser and do both act the same?

7. Try this...
Edited on Tue Feb-17-09 12:40 AM by ChromeFoundry
Open a command prompt (Start, "Run...", type: "cmd.exe" <enter> )

at the prompt type:

NSLOOKUP www.usps.com

it should return something like this...

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: e2361.b.akamaiedge.net
Address: 96.6.201.188
Aliases: www.usps.com, www.usps.com.edgekey.net

if not, it is a hosts file or DNS problem.
