Tom:
Yup. I wasn't going to be the first to bring this up due to my grumpiness last week, but since you mention it.... this routing problem started after the ~3AM outage this morning on RoadRunner (yeah, I was up at that time of night... work..). When I called at 3:15AM, it was explained to me that "something needed fixing and it would be about an hour or so before they had it fixed". It took about 45 minutes before I had to restart my cable modem and get a new IP address, but I could not get to www.tera-byte.com. I chose to be patient (a novel thing for me) and try again later in the morning
At about 9AM this morning, I tried again and I found that my router had to be reset again. That got me a new IP address again and I was able to get to most web sites sites again, but I was still unable to get to www.tera-byte.com.
At about 10AM (had to get to work otherwise I would have called sooner), I called in a report to the advanced technical support team at TimeWarner. I apparently passed muster with them and they gave me a direct line to call them without having to go through the droids in the future. I was pleased.
The last status I had from these people was that they were working on the problem. That was at about 11:20AM.
Here's my traceroute:
$ traceroute www.tera-byte.com
traceroute to www.tera-byte.com (216.234.161.11), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

Hi, all. I'm having a strange problem that prevents me from accessing my standard mail host. I'm not sure whether I'm troubleshooting this right, but I think that what I'm seeing indicates a problem with Road Runner's routing. Any other suggestions for troubleshooting from my end, or have I done all that I can do? (I've already sent a tech support request in to RR.) The reason I'm so concerned is that I'm currently reading my mail at starship.python.net with IMAP over SSL, and now I cannot even SSH into the machine to see what mail has arrived there since yesterday.
