I am totally confused by a networking issue I have. I have 3 servers with Linode and am having problems connecting to 2 of them. I have contaced Linode and they insist everything is OK from their end. So the symptons. I cannot connect to nicbaxter.com.au using ssh, web, mail for the last 3 hours or so. I haven't knowingly made any changes to the server. I ran a mtr: [nic@albert ~]$ mtr --report nicbaxter.com.au HOST: albert.nicbaxter.home Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1.|-- gateway.nicbaxter.home 0.0% 10 1.3 1.3 1.1 1.9 0.2 2.|-- lns20.mel6.internode.on.n 0.0% 10 19.2 21.5 19.2 29.3 2.9 3.|-- te2-2.cor2.mel6.internode 0.0% 10 20.4 20.7 19.6 22.2 0.7 4.|-- gi8-1-110.bdr1.mel6.inter 0.0% 10 187.3 188.1 187.2 189.5 0.8 5.|-- te2-0-0.bdr1.cbr1.interno 0.0% 10 289.6 237.5 186.9 359.9 67.2 6.|-- te6-0-0.bdr1.syd4.interno 0.0% 10 187.7 188.0 187.0 189.8 0.8 7.|-- te0-0-0.bdr1.syd7.interno 0.0% 10 187.1 200.6 187.1 311.2 38.9 8.|-- po3-0-0.bdr1.sjc2.interno 0.0% 10 189.2 188.0 186.5 189.2 1.1 9.|-- te1-7.bbr01.eq01.sjc01.ne 0.0% 10 188.1 188.0 187.5 188.9 0.5 10.|-- ae7.bbr02.eq01.sjc02.netw 0.0% 10 188.1 188.3 187.6 189.2 0.6 11.|-- ae0.bbr02.cs01.lax01.netw 20.0% 10 193.5 194.4 193.5 195.7 0.8 12.|-- ae7.bbr01.cs01.lax01.netw 0.0% 10 194.6 194.4 193.8 196.2 0.7 13.|-- ae19.bbr01.eq01.dal03.net 10.0% 10 221.4 222.1 221.4 222.5 0.4 14.|-- po31.dsr01.dllstx3.networ 0.0% 10 224.7 224.3 223.6 225.4 0.5 15.|-- te2-4.dsr01.dllstx2.netwo 0.0% 10 225.1 225.3 224.7 226.3 0.5 16.|-- po1.car01.dllstx2.network 0.0% 10 224.3 231.4 224.1 291.5 21.1 17.|-- router1-dal.linode.com 0.0% 10 224.7 226.0 223.7 237.0 3.9 18.|-- ??? 100.0 10 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 [nic@albert ~]$ and tcpdump on the server 02:14:37.763601 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 44588, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 64) nicbaxter.com.au > ppp118-209-136-214.lns20.mel6.internode.on.net: ICMP echo reply, id 61030, seq 61313, length 44 02:14:38.518998 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 24801, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 64) ppp118-209-136-214.lns20.mel6.internode.on.net > nicbaxter.com.au: ICMP echo request, id 61030, seq 386, length 44 02:14:38.519043 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 44589, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 64) nicbaxter.com.au > ppp118-209-136-214.lns20.mel6.internode.on.net: ICMP echo reply, id 61030, seq 386, length 44 02:14:38.560710 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 2, id 24802, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 64) ppp118-209-136-214.lns20.mel6.internode.on.net > nicbaxter.com.au: ICMP echo request, id 61030, seq 642, length 44 I can connect using tor. Also Internode can connect without an issue. I have another server nicbaxter.com also with Linode and everything is fine. Any ideas? Cheers Nic
