Several people have in the last year reported problems with getting access to www.ldraw.org. The reason for this problem appears to be that the default "time-to-live" (TTL) for TCP packets is too low. I have now recieved confirmation that this is very likely to be the case - at least for people using Windows 95, 98 or ME. On these systems the default TTL is set to 32 hops instead of 64 (as suggested in a RFC from 1992). According to the Danish research network operators this can be fixed using a program called "regedit.exe". You should look for "DefaultTTL" under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP".
