I've got a website at

http://www.AquariumFish.net

hosted by Tera-Byte.

Lately when I've tried to upload to Tera-Byte, I often
get a message, saying the connection has unexpect-
edly terminated.

Tera-Byte support asked me to run

tracert aquariumfish.net

which I did and noticed it said, "Request timed out."
on line 9

Here are lines 8, 9, and 10 of the tracert report

08 111ms 111ms 111ms 191.ATM6-0.GW6.CH16.ALTER.NET [146.188.128.169]
09 113ms 108ms 113ms Request timed out
10 115ms 111ms 111ms 204.50.128.138

I sent a message to ALTER.NET and got this reply.

Is this a problem? If so, what to do?

Tom

Your site loads very quickly for me .. guess its ur isp

That's their firewall... It never responds to traceroute...

Who's firewall?

Is it Tera-Byte's Firewall?

Tom
