Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

I could ping Geocities, but not livejournel

I have a theory about how that may have happened...

I'd be very interested in your theory.

I thought it had something to do with the distance to the server or ping timeout, but that is more of a guess.

I've not experienced that problem again despite working as a network engineer for 20 years

Based on the highlighting they did, I believe their theory is that "livejournel" didn't work because it should have been "livejournal" with an "a" and you presumably made the same typo all the time.
