Reading text from a URL location

Question

I am having problems trying to read a text file from a URL.
This is the code i have been using:
package Java;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Main_1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL myAddress = new URL("http://www.geocities.com/simonrobinson1/java/farrago.txt");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
myAddress.openStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();
but it returns an error saying:
java.net.NoRouteToHostException: Operation timed out: no further information
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) .....etc etc.
Is this just a problem due to my network or is there something wrong with my code ????

Answer 1

no prob in your code it must be ur n/w
see the result
So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf, to
make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great
she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the
shop. 'What! no soap?' So he died, and she very
imprudently married the barber; and there were
present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the
Garyalies, and the grand Panjandrum himself, with the
little round button at top, and they all fell to playing
the game of catch as catch can, till the gun powder ran
out at the heels of their boots.
Samuel Foote 1720-1777
