I don't understand it.. Why do the port 80 packets loop forever?
I think that's a problem with traceroute, I see the same behaviour from it but can successfully connect to that port on that host. If I use the tcptraceroute program (not the wrapper from the traceroute one) I see a slightly different path at hops 7, 8 and 9 and also the open port. tcptraceroute www.zeit.de Selected device eth4, address 192.168.1.104, port 45998 for outgoing packets Tracing the path to www.zeit.de (217.13.68.220) on TCP port 80 (http), 30 hops max 1 192.168.1.254 0.420 ms 0.368 ms 0.388 ms 2 lns20.mel6.on.ii.net (150.101.212.45) 24.187 ms 23.084 ms 22.393 ms 3 xe10-3-0.cr1.mel4.on.ii.net (150.101.33.174) 45.573 ms 24.159 ms 23.669 ms 4 ae2.br1.syd7.on.ii.net (150.101.33.28) 35.703 ms 35.085 ms 35.181 ms 5 te0-2-1-2.br1.sjc2.on.ii.net (150.101.33.147) 212.898 ms 212.828 ms 213.087 ms 6 144.232.191.193 190.423 ms 191.943 ms 191.125 ms 7 144.232.7.145 192.209 ms 192.083 ms 193.375 ms 8 144.232.1.156 194.895 ms 196.255 ms 219.709 ms 9 62.156.138.213 192.136 ms 193.651 ms 191.893 ms 10 bs-ea1-i.BS.DE.NET.DTAG.DE (62.154.99.34) 381.373 ms 352.420 ms 351.816 ms 11 dtag.gaertner.de (80.150.168.230) 378.925 ms 378.714 ms 378.922 ms 12 www.zeit.de (217.13.68.220) [open] 379.190 ms 378.819 ms 380.329 ms So I'd suggest trying tcptraceroute instead. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
