I can't get to the freenet from my comcast cablemodem connection. Can't pop, can't telnet, can't ssh, can't IMAP. Just can't get there from here. I am currently connected from my work network which works fine. I've attached my notes with traceroutes and stuff. I tried it with all my firewalling rules off. No go. I ssh'ed to another site and it worked fine. How can I find out what's broken? Oh. I THINK it stopped working yesterday afternoon when my cablemodem lights abruptly went out and I lost connection for a minute or so. My fetchmail logs show failures after 1:40 or so. Thanks, Gerry -------------- next part -------------- Summary: I can ssh to other sites but not to the freenet. I can ssh to the freenet from work. It looks like there's a routing problem somewhere. from home: eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:C7:BB:78 inet addr:66.41.78.109 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:95654 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2736 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:61 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:7532132 (7.1 Mb) TX bytes:429050 (418.9 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x1040 #/home/gsker>traceroute tcfreenet.org traceroute to tcfreenet.org (209.98.210.137), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 * * * 2 24.31.2.133 (24.31.2.133) 7.921 ms 7.629 ms 8.289 ms 3 bic04-p2-0.rosehe1.mn.attbb.net (24.31.2.46) 7.806 ms 8.564 ms 8.101 ms 4 12.126.248.33 (12.126.248.33) 8.959 ms 8.339 ms 8.694 ms 5 12.126.248.106 (12.126.248.106) 12.133 ms 9.745 ms 8.797 ms 6 fa0-0.c7200-3.border.stpaul.visi.com (208.42.1.18) 16.717 ms 14.003 ms 16.232 ms 7 * * * #/home/gsker>route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 66.41.76.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default c-66-41-76-1.mn 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 #/home/gsker> And then, moving to the state connection: I can't traceroute to the freenet because of the firewalling.
