You complained to root and webmaster at a router :-) Traceroute barfs from a Host Unreachable at that point, so it's possible that IP (208.254.129.221) is forged. You might try bothering postmaster and abuse@uu.net and see if they can trace that IP back further. Do a traceroute and send them the output. > Received: from popd.ix.netcom.com (celebris.tddhome [192.168.1.3]) celebris must be your box, that's an invalid IP.
