See attached trace route for clarity. This is taken from my IP address of 204.29.28.142 while trying to reach 207.195.95.27. As of hop 11 all goes well and then a game of packet Ping-Pong ensues between psp.sk.canet.ca [192.68.63.1] and regional1.sk.canet.ca [192.68.63.101]. Any assistance would be appreciated.
