Aleta, according to your domain name, and the traceroute (which I verified, in reverse) either you are in Switzerland, or you are connected to a computer belonging to a Swiss company. In any case, the .ch domain is for Switzerland. Further, the traceroute indicates that your packets pass through a well-known U.S. - European gateway, at telia.com. So, it's not just a case of a Swiss company with operations in the U.S. wanting to use their home domain name, but connecting through a U.S. ISP. Like I said, this explanation is going to be fun... The most plausible explanation is that your son works for a Swiss company operating in the U.S., and he's arranged Internet service through a dial-up to them. Their Internet connection is through a private link to the home office in Switzerland. In any cases, if you are in the U.S., your packets are crossing the Atlantic twice, though I can only detect one crossing based on the traceroute. Try that one. :) (You'll not like the alternative - that you're sitting at a brokerage terminal - many of which run Unix - at the offices of a Swiss-based brokerage firm in New York. They would likely be paranoid enough to want to run a private link at great expense back to the home office, and filter all of their Internet access for branch offices through there.)
