(...) "No route to host" is a generic message that you can get on very different situations. For instance, when your ISP has smtp port of your DSL connection closed and you try to establish a connection on port 25 via telnet with a remote e-mail server, you get a "no route to host" message which basically means that you cannot establish a connection with the selected computer on choosen port but it does not invlove that computer you are trying to reach is "off" or disconnected.
