As I've mentioned before, it is not possible to access the PLUG website from much of the COX network due to a faulty route somewhere. I'm trying to track down the point where the route goes bad in hopes of getting the COX network staff off their collective hindquarters to actually do something for a change. What I'd like, is for anyone who can actually reach the PLUG website to please send their traceroute results to me (or the list) so I can gather some correct routes vs. the incorrect route on the COX network. For reference, here's what I get on a traceroute from the COX network: traceroute to 66.98.190.6 (66.98.190.6), 20 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 10.37.64.1 18.715 ms 22.196 ms 25.569 ms 2 ip68-2-1-81.ph.ph.cox.net (68.2.1.81) 28.879 ms 32.246 ms 35.927 ms 3 68.2.13.170 39.253 ms 40.374 ms 39.453 ms 4 68.2.13.102 39.094 ms 14.440 ms 14.628 ms 5 chnddsrc01-gew0602.rd.ph.cox.net (68.2.14.25) 20.284 ms 24.713 ms 28.078 ms 6 chndbbrc01-pos0101.rd.ph.cox.net (68.1.0.164) 31.500 ms 34.924 ms 38.360 ms 7 langbbrc01pos0401.r2.la.cox.net (68.1.1.22 57.868 ms 56.949 ms 56.971 ms 8 68.105.30.130 59.072 ms 66.720 ms 69.397 ms 9 anhmca1wcx2-pos5-0.wcg.net (64.200.140.69) 25.004 ms 28.031 ms 47.098 ms 10 hstntx1wcx2-pos1-0.wcg.net (64.200.240.65) 69.818 ms 79.103 ms 82.744 ms 11 hstntx1wcx1-pos6-0-oc48.wcg.net (65.77.93.209) 69.510 ms 84.338 ms 86.427 ms 12 hstntx1wce2-everyonesinternet-gige.wcg.net (65.77.93.54) 85.603 ms 84.701 ms 83.789 ms 13 ivhou-207-218-245-110.ev1.net (207.218.245.110) 82.938 ms 82.023 ms 82.671 ms 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 * * * Note: Hop 1 is the COX cable modem gateway system (where the fiber uplink is transferred back to IP) Thanks, ==Joseph++ P.S. The COX network also, occasionally, routes the packets to some sort of e-commerce system(secure.ecommerce-order5.com) which reports the same(66.98.190.6) IP address as the PLUG server , could this system be improperly misusing the same IP as the PLUG server, and thus causing the routing problems?
