David, I used tracert and ping to check out
a free ISP here in Seattle that I am test
driving. Everything beyond their servers
will not show up...how can this be?

For example...
Tracing route to grads.iges.org [192.239.84.50]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 280 ms 288 ms 277 ms TNT2.FreeI.Net [209.162.144.6]
2 278 ms 228 ms 268 ms FreeI-GW.Freei.Net [209.162.144.1]
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 * * * Request timed out.
5 * * * Request timed out.
6 * * * Request timed out.
7 * * * Request timed out.
8 * * * Request timed out.
9 * * * Request timed out.
10 * * * Request timed out.

etc...I gave up after 18 hops

whereas

Tracing route to mail.wa.freei.net [209.162.144.3]

over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 283 ms 267 ms 274 ms TNT2.FreeI.Net [209.162.144.6]
2 282 ms 288 ms 283 ms mail.wa.freei.net [209.162.144.3]
Trace complete.

or when I try tracert www.techstocks.com

Pinging v13.go2net.com [206.253.217.13] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 206.253.217.13:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Can you explain this?

{For those interested in this tracrt and ping
exercise, you can capture the output by piping
the stuff to a text file,
tracert www.techstocks.com>text.txt}

Thanks,
--Mike "daysleeper" McFarland
