I'm not sure how long this has been going on (several months, in any case), but I can't reach woodmann's server from home.

Traceroute from work to 71.6.196.237:

Not all that informative, I guess, since they take completely different routes. However, from the last addresses in the first traceroute, it looks like woodmann.com is collocated in San Diego, CA. I checked their website, and Complex Drive is apparently a collocation outfit in San Diego. That's where the traffic is getting lost. Does this mean anything to Woodmann? It's not a huge deal because I can ssh through to a friend's Squid server and get to it that way, but it looks like a routing issue that might be local to woodmann.com's colo. I just thought you should know about it in case it is.

Edit: A traceroute from the friend's comp in Houston goes out through alter.net like my home trace, but then goes through san diego via wcg.net like my work trace instead of through att.net.

I suspect the issue is with your own ISP. Running ping from my girlfriend's house takes 87ms to get to the server and that's starting from California. It has more to do with an ATT dial-up account then anything else.

You could always try a proxy server from your home.

Howdy,

I dont know a whole lot about this stuff BUT,

Since we all take a different route to get here,
the only thing that could cause a problem is your
front end provider.

I would think that because my provider is Comcast,
I get better access to the biggest pipes.
Comcast is huge east of the Mississippi.
Hence they have the ability to negotiate the best deals for
service/access.

If you are on a dialup, I am willing to bet you get
treated poorly when network traffic is busy.
You kinda get put on infinite hold.

Perhaps this will explain it better.

Company A owns the biggest internet pipes in North America.
Company B has 40 million customers who want access.
Company C has 2000 dialup accounts.

Whos gets priority treatment?
