Routing problem

[smack Down]

I'm trying to connect to a server but because of bad routing table so where between me and them I can't connect. I want to know who I complain to try and get this fixed. Is it my ISP problem? the servers ISP or some one in between. I know that the server is reachable for other people on the internet.

Tracing route to webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com [206.18.98.175]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

What makes you think it's bad routing tables somewhere?

Are you saying it stops / hangs at the 13th hop ? That could just be a firewall or routing policy denying traceroute traffic.

Do you get any response from that site? (Like normal pages / index page comes up OK, but when you go to an encrypted / SSL page it hangs / fails)

Based on the output you posted, it all looks OK.

Let us know

Yes it stop at hop 13 and of course I can't connect to the site. And no it isn't someone denying traceroute traffic.

It looks like I'm a couple hops closer, but I get the same thing:

The above is through AT&T DSL at home (Chicago), but I got the same general response from a machine that is ~2 hops from the local NAP.

What kind of server is it?

I get to the server and get this nifty apache page:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /

description The requested resource (/) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/5.5.17



OP, what do you get?
