Hi All, Not sure where the problem is at but several packets are being dropped to several different hosts from the DC area. (This is not the Google DNS problem) I tried connecting to several different known sites with roughly 40% being unresponsive from two seperate ISPs (Speakeasy and Comcast.) Traceroute to sans.org via Comcast: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.20.1 2 12 ms 15 ms 6 ms 10.84.240.1 3 21 ms 11 ms 7 ms ge-2-3-ur02.lanham.md.bad.comcast.net [68.87.131 .125] 4 8 ms 12 ms 32 ms te-9-1-ur01.lanham.md.bad.comcast.net [68.87.129 .61] 5 11 ms 21 ms 9 ms te-9-1-ur01.bowie.md.bad.comcast.net [68.87.128. 177] 6 8 ms 6 ms 27 ms te-8-2-ar01.capitolhghts.md.bad.comcast.net [68. 87.128.182] 7 7 ms 8 ms 8 ms 68.87.16.165 8 15 ms 9 ms 7 ms 12.118.122.9 9 8 ms 9 ms 9 ms tbr1-p010401.wswdc.ip.att.net [12.123.9.106] 10 7 ms 8 ms 8 ms ggr2-p300.wswdc.ip.att.net [12.123.9.81] 11 10 ms 9 ms 12 ms att-gw.dc.sprint.net [192.205.32.166] 12 27 ms 13 ms 9 ms sl-bb26-rly-5-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.20.149] 13 39 ms 33 ms 32 ms sl-bb25-chi-3-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.20.89] 14 78 ms 76 ms 84 ms sl-bb21-sea-1-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.20.156] 15 75 ms 77 ms 74 ms sl-bb20-sea-15-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.6.89] 16 75 ms 74 ms 81 ms sl-bb22-tac-6-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.9.151] 17 77 ms 75 ms 75 ms sl-bb21-tac-4-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.17.93] 18 76 ms 76 ms 76 ms sl-gw6-tac-10-0.sprintlink.net [144.232.17.1] 19 88 ms 83 ms 86 ms sl-micro23-1-0-0.sprintlink.net [160.81.243.66] 20 82 ms 80 ms 83 ms 64-112-224-3-ips-eug-or-core02.tcpipservices.net [64.112.224.3] 21 86 ms 85 ms 84 ms 64-112-227-69-ips-eug-or-lb01-2.tcpipservices.ne t [64.112.227.69] 22 maverick32.sans.org [64.112.229.132] reports: Destination host unreachable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Traceroute via Speakeasy would timeout. Same thing goes for other sites ubuntulinux.org www.osvdb.org for example. Anyone else having similar problems? -- Mark Owen
