Good heavens!!! No wonder it takes so long to get a link sometimes! My son, who is 12 going on 13, does work, but in the field of entertainment not computers. We pay ATT for service, they gave us a local number to connect to. Other then that I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know why the route goes through Switzerland.

Jon, Here is the link Aleta used to do her traceroute. Maybe this will explain why you came up with the info. you did. lab.unisource.ch p.s. I come up with the exact same info. Aleta did when I put in www.zulumedia.com. Does that make me a broker too?

Jon, What I find particularly amusing and scary is that when I tried to trace earlier, before Aleta the first time, I did the same thing she did with the same result. Then when you started to describe the "Swiss connection" it gets scary because you have just described the exact situation that I am in at the moment - or at least it sounds like it. I do go through a Swiss company and we are on a Unix! Also, I happen to know that PT DID go to both simweb sites and does know that one is Canadian and one US. Who knows, if those sites were "ours" it would really be a great part of the Vertical integration plan - wouldn't it? LOL Bill

After reading Jon Tara's below post to Aleta, it makes me wonder who the character was behind Miss Double D, back when this self-proclaimed bodacious blonde was luringly posting on ESVS/Yahoo. But I'll reserve judgment, since I'm way behind in reading the posts that are ahead of me. >>>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.)<<<
