First of all sorry for posting this on this mailing list. I don't know of any good list to post it on, and since this list seems to draw a very knowledgable crowd I thought it might be worth a shot ;-)
I have a problem with the network connection at home, but only to certain (I have found two) sites: http://www.therning.org/ (a very shor silly page: "coming soon...") http://99kronor.com/ (the webhosting used for the domain above) DNS lookup works fine! Traceroute gives me about 15 hops before it runs into problems (it reports only stars until hop 30 when it stops, increasing the hop count doesn't improve the situation). Both of these sites are reachable from all other computers I've tried (work, 2 friends', my brother's, my ISP's helpdesk). The ISP helpdesk says this is a DNS problem, and that it will sort itself out in less than a week. As you understand my knowledge of networks is extremely limited, but something here doesn't smell right. If it were a DNS problem, why doesn't switching DNS have any influence? (I have tried 3 different ones, the default one from my ISP, an openly available one from 12move.nl, and one openly available from Chalmers in Sweden.) When comparing the hops observed by me and the ones observed by the ISP helpdesk they are the same (well, the first few aren't, but they quickly join) until the last one I note. After that it takes about 2 hops for the ISP helpdesk to reach the destination. Why do I get a slightly different route, which seems to land me in some black hole? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://magnus.therning.org/ Anyone who creates his or her own cryptographic primitive is either a genius or a fool.
