Techers,

<br>
I frequently eat lunch at Cushman Market in Amherst. For many
years, I had no problems with their wifi. However, in July, I
started getting connection errors for most web sites. For
example:
<br>
<br>
This site can’t be reached
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/</a> is unreachable.
<br>
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
<br>
ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE
<br>
<br>
This site can’t be reached
<br>
Check if there is a typo in webmail.pair.com.
<br>
If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
<br>
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
<br>
<br>
I am able to access Facebook, Google, and Youtube, among others.
I could watch a video on Youtube, so it's not a bandwidth issue.
<br>
<br>
I can access <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.bridgebase.com/">https://www.bridgebase.com/</a>, but when I follow the
links to log in or to access the VuGraph archive on the same site,
it fails. Perhaps the home page is cached?
<br>
<br>
Over time, I experienced the same thing on three different Windows
laptops and on my phone, when connected to the Cushman wifi. None
of the devices had any trouble connecting to any of the web sites
from home or from other public wifi networks. I also spoke with
another Cushman customer. He said that he didn't have any
trouble, though when he tried then to access washingtonpost.com,
he got the same message. At my request, he also tried
fidelity.com--another one that is unreachable for me--and got a
basic HTML page, not the normal rich home page.
<br>
<br>
I reached out to the owner of Cushman. She said that she didn't
have any problems with those sites, that she wasn't intentionally
blocking any of them, and that she could access them from her
device; I'm not sure which sites specifically she was able to
reach and I don't have direct knowledge that she was using the
same network.
<br>
<br>
One idea I had was to tunnel through my work VPN to a remote
desktop, though at best that will work only until I retire in a
few years. There are a couple of ways to do that. One is through
a URL, but of course I can't access that. Another is to use
Windows App. When I tried installing it while at Cushman,
Microsoft Store said that I wasn't connected to the internet,
though of course I was--I can navigate the store itself just
fine. I installed it later from home and will try it out the next
time I'm at the cafe, which at this point may not be for a while.
<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate any suggestions for what the owner or I can do to
investigate or resolve this issue.
<br>
