    When I am reading my e-mail I click the Washington Post e-mail and everything is fine, but when I click on a link within the page it goes to “can’t find the server”.
    This is the only e-mail that does this. Links work fine in all my other messages. help!

      could it be a firewall blocking action?

      Right click on the link and choose copy link (or something similar) and post the link here.

        Possible DNS issue?? If you open a command window (Start > Run > cmd) and run this, what do you get?

        nslookup link.email.washingtonpost.com

        The Post appears to use a content distribution network. I get this (in Silicon Valley, CA):

        Non-authoritative answer:
        Name: washingtonpost.ed10.net
        Address: 208.94.20.19
        Aliases: link.email.washingtonpost.com

        If you get “non-existent domain,” then your DNS service provider may have a problem.

      Thank-You for your quick reply,
      The issue is resolved by simply holding down the CTRL key while clicking on the link.
      I guess it’s just like clicking on a link in a word document.
      I’m bad, (go figure)
      Thanks again,
