I wonder if using a longer timeout wait would show anything more? For
example, tracert -w 10000 povray.org

I've had some trouble using tracert recently. After not using that for a
long time, I decided to see some timings by pinging and it just timed out
all the time. I did a tracert and all I ever get is a "destination net
unreachable" at the same location. Apparently it's a new route the Internet
traffic takes from a nearby town to the outskirts of this State's largest
city. My ISP has been making changes, upgrading the hardware locally for the
past year or more.

Anyway, so I can't ping or tracert povray.org but could be for a completely
different reason. Besides, I don't know much of anything about this kind of
thing. The website is accessible through Internet Explorer.

Hmmm, maybe a firewall could cause the trouble? Again, I wouldn't know if it
would or not.
