-----Original Message----- From: chuck goolsbee [mailto:chucklist@forest.net] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 10:14 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Issue with 208.192.0.0/8 - 208.196.93.0/24?

Forgive the intrusion...

We have a customer who uses some merchant services off of 208.196.93.204, which seems to be unreachable via any location I try. Emails to UUnet's NOC are unaswered and the guy I talked to on the phone @ UU wouldn't open a ticket because I'm not a customer (but his traces were dying in the same place as mine:

207.ATM6-0.GW11.NYC1.ALTER.NET (152.63.29.185))

Can anybody out there hit that IP (208.196.93.204) at the moment? Or indeed much of anything in that /8?
