I haven't solved the problem yet. From 012 someone "superior" (network dep) are supposed to call me and they will put hot on conference and this time I intend to request the net admin/integrator to take care of that AND ask them to go directly to the switch and disable the firewall.The ip from where there is 75-80% packet lost is a principal switchand another 1 or 2 ips where I get additional ~15-20% packet lost. They have a harsh firewall on the main switch. ALL UDP ports are blocked. TCP also a lot of ports closed.
tcptraceroute (as opposed to traceroute manages to bypass firewall) reveals that there is a firewall, although inside hot (between switches) the ports are open (firewalk). As for the problem you had last week, I am not sure, because I have static IP without dialer (MPLS) and the first 2 hops belong to hot (where the packet loss occurs) and the 3rd hop is 012. One of support guys said that is 012 blame because they are only infrastructure. 012 says it's hot ip and they are right. And I am the ball which is ping-ponged. ;-( AND ttl to my default gateway is 255. ttl for google.com is 225. But, I will try wireshark as well to check syn, syn-ack. I don't use 3 way handshake. Otherwise I will be detected. I use nmap -sS. I understand that you used -sT flag. Correct? They make troubles if you scan their net? -sT for instance? If you can tell me what exactly you ran, I will be glad.
