Check you get a forward and reverse DNS lookup that match. Sometimes you can get the hostname return the correct IP, but the IP resolves to the wrong address.

Any other possibilities? Cheers Arjun On 5/8/06, Javier Liendo <javier () liendo net> wrote:
hello arjun check if the website is a virtual website...most probably it is and that is the reason you can only get at it with the hostname and not the IP address... regards javier On 5/5/06, Arjun Venkatraman <arjunishere () gmail com> wrote:Hi all, I have a pretty basic sort of problem. While sending an HTTP request to a machine using a VBScript, when I mention the hostname in the URL, the request goes through smoothly. However, when I mention the IP address explicitly, the request does not go through. I have confirmed he IP address multiple times to make sure the error is not a typo. If the machine name had not been accessible, I would have concluded that the DNS query was the problem. But with the hostname working and the IP not working I am stumped. Any ideas? Cheers Arjun
