Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 05:28:13 GMT Organization: System Hog (www.systemhog.com) Reply-To: lists@efinley.com Message-ID: <39c6f72e.8985779@mail.afnetinc.com> X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.5/32.451 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG [lines wrapped at 110 so that traceroute output will not be wrapped] The first traceroute dies at 157.130.162.62. The !H means host = unreachable. But does this mean that 216.190.63.1 (the final destination) is the one that is having problems, = and is unreachable? Or does this mean that there is some sort of routing loop on 157.130.162.62? The second traceroute makes it all the way through and is just shown here= for reference. Any help on this would be appreciated.
