Here are some of the error codes you may see when pinging or doing a 
traceroute:

*---The probe timed out
?---Unknown packet type
A---Administratively blocked (i.e. access list)
Q---Source quench
P---Protocol unreachable
N---Network unreachable
U---Port unreachable
H---Host unreachable

H means host unreachable. Jumping to the conclusion that there's a routing 
problem isn't logical (though I know that what's the Tech Note document 
says.) The host could be turned off. A host unreachable happens when the 
last-hop router tries to ARP for the device and doesn't get a response.

They really watered down the Internetworking Troubleshooting Guide in that 
Tech Note. I recommend reading the real one here:
