Thanks for your reply, David.<br><br>
I don&#39;t know what may lie between the last accessible IP (74.202.159.238)
and my target IP (168.244.164.134). Isn&#39;t that the purpose behind
(dynamic) routing? An end user doesn&#39;t need to know the route to their
destination.<br><br>
I assume a &quot;real&quot; OS == linux. I&#39;ll try tcptraceroute on my
linux box when I get home Sunday evening.<br><br>
When you say I need a baseline to go from. what do you mean?<br><br>
The only real information I have is that I need to connect my browser to
<a href="http://www.myloweslife.com/" target="_blank">
www.myloweslife.com</a> and that attempt fails.  I tried tracert in
order to try to determine what was going on behind the scenes. Obviously,
that form of troubleshooting is (no longer) reasonable.<br><br>
Do you have any suggestions on how to figure out why I may not be able to
browse to that site? HR tells me there shouldn&#39;t be a problem and claims
nobody else has connection problems. I&#39;m stumped.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br>

This depends.  Do you know where the IP is you&#39;re trying to reach in
relation to the last IP shown?<br><br>
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&#39;t respond back to you, but do pass packets through
(those that haven&#39;t reached their TTL/hop limit).<br><br>
So there may be no &quot;block&quot; 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&#39;ll need a real
OS for that.<br><br>
