A !X is typically how a unix box interprets an icmp administratively
prohibited message. On a cisco box this will normally give you a !A. On a
windows platform the traceroute may or may not go through due to M$
implementation of traceroute. M$ uses icmp messages instead of udp so many
times a M$ trace will get through while a trace from a unix or cisco box
will fail.

Subject: Traceroute results
I need to know what the !X at the end of this traceroute means. I
suspect that it means that it is blocked by a firewall or some acl.
traceroute to ns1.cp.net (209.228.15.4), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

ms !X
Am I on the right track? Also, does anyone know of a website that gives
definitions for traceroute/ping responses so I can learn this for
myself, and not have to rely upon the charity of strangers =)?
Thanks,
