[lug] Connection problems from Europe

[John Hernandez]

Despite the traceroute failure (which may be misleading), it might be a 
good idea to somehow verify that you're not getting the packets on your 
outside interface before asking WilTel about it.  If you decide to 
inquire at wcg.net, here's a resource to look into first:

It will give you an idea of their bgp routing tables and other info.

Here's some contact info I found:
