"No route to host" is the consequence of receiving an ICMP "host unreachable" error. It means the ARP resolution failed for reaching the next hop. > For instance, when your ISP has smtp port of your DSL connection closed > and you try to establish a connection on port 25 via telnet with a remote > e-mail server, you get a "no route to host" message which basically means > that you cannot establish a connection with the selected computer on > choosen port but it does not invlove that computer you are trying to > reach is "off" or disconnected. When your ISP, like mine, is blocking the xx port, you should receive a "connection timed out" message. That's what I receive: francois@fermat:~$ telnet gmail.com 25 Trying 209.85.147.17... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out But perhaps you didn't receive the same error? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
