It seems that http://technet.microsoft.com is unreachable from several places. Here it resolves to technet.microsoft.akadns.net (64.4.11.252), but doesn't answer ping's nor telnet to port 80.
I've tried using several looking glasses, but only "downforeveryoneorjustme.com" seems to reach it.
HTTP looking glass or pings? I have yet to see a Microsoft server that responds to ICMP. Only reliable method I've found is something like tcptraceroute.
