Um, it's firewalled? Most of microsoft isn't traceroutable or pingable. 173 eep:~> telnet windowsupdate.microsoft.com 80 Trying 207.68.131.27... Connected to windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

Hi David, I've gotten ICMP echo replies from the hop after 65.195.34.226 many many times before. And I generally never see delays like ~700ms. FWIW, I was getting ICMP ECHO replies from iuswsecurc1202-p-6-0.msft.net just recently. I only bring this up because it's taking hours to grab files off of their site. It generally takes less than five minutes, even during the busiest parts of the day. Oh yeah, one more thing Davey, I don't moo :-) -Ian

Microsoft probably posted Yet Another Security Fix and all those XP boxes are doing an ET Phone Home to patch themselves, and they've slashdotted the server. Either that or windowsupdate.microsoft.com got CodeRed'ed again... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
