This is probably the reason why netselect fails. Here is how the output should look when it works: [...] 14 a1sth-ae4.sunet.se (130.242.82.198) 73.339 ms 73.358 ms 73.376 ms 15 umu-g.sunet.se (193.11.0.226) 82.106 ms 82.123 ms 82.230 ms 16 u2k-te.gw.umu.se (130.239.0.201) 82.771 ms 82.813 ms 82.824 ms 17 svh-te.gw.umu.se (130.239.0.142) 82.750 ms 82.820 ms 81.421 ms 18 napoleon.acc.umu.se (130.239.18.173) 81.510 ms 81.525 ms 82.194 ms It is a coincidence that I also have exactly 18 steps to the server (I am in Spain), but I think it is reasonable to expect that the last steps should be the same for you. These hosts all send the TIME_EXCEEDED responses; if you do not see them then something must be blocking them at your end. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
