Subject: Help finding failure point accessing PLUG Website
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

Note: Hop 1 is the COX cable modem gateway system (where the fiber
uplink is transferred back to IP)

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?

Here's a dig for that domain:
~> dig secure.ecommerce-order5.com
