Hi people, Can you get to the Safaricom website. We can't access it from this end although they assure us it is up. Please post your traceroute. Here is mine tracert safaricom.co.ke Tracing route to safaricom.co.ke [196.201.214.47] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 3 ms 7 ms 6 ms hotspot.skyband.mw [192.168.192.1] 2 74 ms 49 ms 40 ms 192.168.239.1 3 82 ms 81 ms 72 ms 192.168.255.5 4 69 ms 72 ms 67 ms blz-border2.skyband.mw [41.190.93.222] 5 56 ms 73 ms 55 ms blz-border1.skyband.mw [41.190.93.254] 6 835 ms 624 ms 596 ms 192.168.251.89 7 * * * Request timed out. 8 * * * Request timed out. 9 * etc etc -- Pamoja e:daudi.were@gmail.com <e%3Adaudi.were@gmail.com> skype: d.were

Its not safaricom alone, try www.kdn.co.ke I think they drop ICMP packets since even ping doesn't work. It doesn't mean the site is down though. -- Regards, Job Njogu Muriuki, Phone: (+254) - 772333075 | 736333075 Skype: heviejob | Yahoo: heviejob Address: 42665 00100 Nrb

... interestingly, i can load up the site, but the tracert and ping times-out just like yours. I guess they set it up like that for security.... u cant ping-flood it, and you cant trace any of the nodes that connect directly to it. ... i guess you can't easily DOS safcom... ... then again, i was able to telnet to the webserver, so i guess you could DOS it with connection attempts to its port 80. anyhows, the site is up. may be their "hide-my-ass" setup is preventing your particular IP from accessing the site, but from kenyaweb, i can see it.
