Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention. I have just altered a local firewall rule so that traceroute can complete a trace to cvs.linuxcnc.org. Here is what the traceroute now looks like from the most geographically separated system I could access:
$ traceroute -f15 cvs.linuxcnc.org traceroute to cvs.linuxcnc.org (206.222.212.221), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 15 ae-3.ebr1.Denver1.Level3.net (4.69.132.58) 45.731 ms 43.883 ms 36.206 ms 16 ge-3-0-0-51.gar1.Denver1.Level3.net (4.68.107.2) 35.167 ms 34.951 ms 39.032 ms 17 ALLTEL-COMMU.gar1.Denver1.Level3.net (4.79.74.14) 67.851 ms 45.428 ms 44.913 ms 18 h183.28.213.151.ip.alltel.net (151.213.28.183) 69.774 ms 70.438 ms 69.148 ms 19 h184.28.213.151.ip.alltel.net (151.213.28.184) 69.398 ms 69.711 ms 69.693 ms 20 h114.52.170.216.ip.alltel.net (216.170.52.114) 71.635 ms 70.729 ms 71.076 ms 21 lin-dsl-static-206-222-212-217.inetnebr.com (206.222.212.217) 95.259 ms 96.217 ms 95.867 ms 22 unpythonic.net (206.222.212.218) 97.637 ms 106.538 ms 95.336 ms 23 cvs.linuxcnc.org (206.222.212.221) 100.587 ms 98.522 ms 99.263 ms Before this change, the final lines might have looked more like this: 22 unpythonic.net (206.222.212.218) 97.637 ms 106.538 ms 95.336 ms 23 unpythonic.net (206.222.212.218) 100.587 ms !Z 98.522 ms !Z 99.263 ms !Z because the icmp packets being sent by traceroute were forbidden by the firewall on 206.222.212.218 to pass to 206.222.212.221. !Z (!X or !<10> in some versions of traceroute) indicate that the packet was "administratively prohibited". This traceroute output does not indicate an actual problem with connectivity. Jeff PPS I also used www.inoc.net's nettest to check connectivity to cvs.linuxcnc.org.
