-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- hi marco,
by design, traceroutes/pings and other ICMP type packets will not be able to reach e-gold machines. that is not unusual and not indicative of a problem. (this was the 3rd option mentioned in a third parties message in the original message). the reason your particular problem seems to be "weird" or specific to data from e-gold, is that traffic from other locations *can* get thru to your server. there are many sites out there that allow you to traceroute/ping etc. and at the time of our investigation for your problem, they *could* get to your server. e-gold *could not*. tracerouting showed a difference somewhere in the .it TLD which led to our conclusion that a server there had special knowledge aka "a misconfiguration" with respect to some inbound IP ranges. i will throw in this bone, if someone on the list offers a suggestion or idea that directly leads to marco solving his problem, i'll spend you 10 grams of e-gold. go get the bone! [i am the final judge of an answer being of sufficient merit]. best, jay w.
