Certain Computers In Our NOC can't Reach Youtube

Networking
#1

Hey gang,

Fun question.

So 4 of our 15 computers can't get to Youtube.com. 3 of them 4 are physically connected on different switches. When we ping it, it works fine, tracert reveals nothing useful. Google works great - every other site we've tried works as expected. DNS is set to auto.

Any thoughts?

try setting the dns 8.8.8.8

#3

clear the dns cache

if on windows do ipconfig /flushdns

#4

Giggles ensue from the NOC.

"Hello,

I’ve been experiencing this issue for quite some time. I need YouTube to do my job but I cannot get to the website. I can ping youtube.com just fine, but when trying to access it through my browser I get an error saying the website took too long to respond. Pls help, I need cat videos."

Lol

dns flush didn't work, cleared cookies, disabled them for YT, no luck either.. Looking into hardware...

Will look into it...
We're thinking it's our firewall. We've got another one on order.
