<div dir="ltr">Hey Rick,<div><br></div><div style>This depends. Do you know where the IP is you're trying to reach in relation to the last IP shown?</div><div style><br></div><div style>It is common today for clueless admins to block ping packets (M$ uses ping vice UDP packets for tracing). You might also be hitting transit routes for the last hop or two. These transit routes are private IPs that can't respond back to you, but do pass packets through (those that haven't reached their TTL/hop limit).</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>So there may be no "block" to get past. You really do need to have a baseline to go from. Try using a tcp trace (a la tcptraceroute), they usually have less problems, but you'll need a real OS for that.</div>

I've been trying to connect to <a href="http://www.myloweslife.com" target="_blank">www.myloweslife.com</a> but the site<br>
continually times out. I've tried multiple times over the past week<br>
with no success.<br>
<br>
I tried running a tracert (Windows version of traceroute) several<br>
times and seem to always time out at the same point. (output below)<br>
<br>
I'm not sure exactly what this means, or who to contact to get past<br>
the "block".<br>
<br>
- Does this indicate a broken route? Down system?<br>
- Can I contact someone to help? Who? My ISP (Verizon<br>
FIOS)? <a href="http://twtelecom.net" target="_blank">twtelecom.net</a> (Time Warner)?<br>
