Tcpdump shows the SYNs going out but no ACKs arriving, it looks like some silly firewall rule on the way. I tried a couple of times after that (once just after I saw Brad's positive response from the UK) -- the results are consistent for me. So our rough map is: France (near Paris), Germany (Berlin): out; Spain (Madrid): in, UK: in. So much for basing your "security" on the IPs you see :-D Attempt at an explanation: as IPV4 gets more and more exhausted, we're bound to see small slivers of IPV4 space "recycled" and allocated to random places -- IP address to geolocation "mapping" becoming more and more fractal and (time-) dynamic. Admins: enjoy maintaining your firewall rules! Cheers -- tomás
