Hey, all. I ran into an interesting problem that drove me outright bonkers and thought I'd share the insights for those who might run into similar issues. Most of my Subversion repositories I just back up via straight flat file; one, however, being sent off-site, needs to be backed up weekly via

2009-11-01 Thread Frank DiPrete
Hello All, Once again I am experiencing a routing problem on Comcast. Today I discovered that I cannot reach linuxquestions.org. My router is returning max hops exceeded. I'm trying to figure out if it is a comcast problem, a qwest problem, or a specific comcast problem after my super

It pains me to say anything that appears to cut ComCast any slack because I have no love for them whatsoever but, FWIW, I'm seeing essentially the same traceroute output reported by Kenta: e521:~ 395--- traceroute linuxquestions.org | lineup traceroute to linuxquestions.org

Looks like this is a specific routing problem on my subnet's path. I just can't wait to talk to comcast about it. (by that I mean not) Michael ODonnell wrote: It pains me to say anything that appears to cut ComCast any slack because I have no love for them whatsoever but, FWIW, I'm seeing
