It could be either one of those. 157.130.162.62 is reporting back to you that it is the gateway for the next hop, and it is unable to communicate with the next hop.. be that the ultimate destination, or just one more hop along the way. I'd suspect a misconfiguration upon seeing the same machine responding twice.. but it could be that the interface was down when the traceroute was run. Does it continually fluctuate between working and not? -------signature file------- PGP Key Fingerprint: 446B 7718 B219 9F1E 43DD 8E4A 6BE9 D739 CCC5 7FD7 "I don't think [Linux] will be very successful in the long run."
