"Time to live exceeded" is an error response from a router/intermediate host during a Ping/traceroute - I think it usually means that a packet has exceeded its "max hops" count, so if you're getting this error, chances are it's encountered a loop somewhere as I'm sure the default TTL is 128 hops (I could be wrong though.)
"Plugin timed out after 10 seconds" means the plugin didn't get a response back from any router within 10 seconds. Andy.
