Re: trouble getting through to weather2.admin.niu.edu FIXED?

Gilbert - I don't know if this will help, but traceroutes from FSU to NIU are still horrible...kind of echoes your comments about your provider or a weak link in Chicago. This one is typical of the few I've run recently after seeing your other note. I did this to weather3 rather than weather2...but it may be instructive. Paul

It looks like all is finally well. MUNCHKIN shows a connection at 8:42am today. The mail queue on my workstation has cleared out, so no more old

Admin people were looking at the problem at this end, while people were doing 
the same at your end.  Someone obviously found and fixed the problem.


We were former Genuity customers, and are now on Level 3 because they
bought Genuity out last fall. The switchover has been horrid for us. Our 
IT admin just emailed me back and said they did nothing on this end to
fix it. They just know that Level 3 is having a ton of problems and the
customer service...well, I'll just leave it at that.
