You complained to root and webmaster at a router :-)  Traceroute barfs
from a Host Unreachable at that point, so it's possible that IP
(208.254.129.221) is forged.  You might try bothering postmaster and
abuse@uu.net and see if they can trace that IP back further. Do a
traceroute and send them the output.

celebris must be your box, that's an invalid IP.
