Nice firewall-rules breaking ICMP here already....
Braindead and useless. Use tcptraceroute in such cases.
19 192.94.118.253 (192.94.118.253) 187.123 ms 186.472 ms 183.902 ms [...] Line 19 to 64 are identical. How on earth can this be done? Wrong netmask maybe?
Nopes, just a nice firewall.
192.94.118.253 is already at Novell - therefore it's probably slightly OT, in here. But still... maybe somebody from Novell is reading this and is able to help.
man tcpdump or wireshark your connection to find out more details.
Also in general, problems with websites are better tested by doing a telnet to port 80 of the box and typing a HTTP query...
ACK. That way you see if it's unreachable or just a server overload. That and tcptraceroute. =:-)
CU, Venty
