      yeah sure looks like ipv6 issue.. Have them just ping your ipv6 address I show it responding

      C:>ping -6 2a01:79d:3e86:5a18:5945:87fd:f332:83c

      Pinging 2a01:79d:3e86:5a18:5945:87fd:f332:83c with 32 bytes of data:

        Had them disable IPv6, no change. Also note that they cannot connect via IPv4 either.

          well have them do a tracepath -n to the ipv4 address what do they get for mtu size?

          Or on windows you can grab mturoute

          D:\Dropbox\tools>mturoute.exe 79.161.150.134

          • ICMP Fragmentation is not permitted. *
          • Speed optimization is enabled. *
          • Maximum payload is 10000 bytes. *
          • ICMP payload of 1472 bytes succeeded.
          • ICMP payload of 1473 bytes is too big.
            Path MTU: 1500 bytes.

          Or grap mtupath

          D:\Dropbox\tools>mtupath.exe 79.161.150.134

          MTU path scan to 79.161.150.134, ttl=64, limit=48

          16 processing - best MSS 1472 (estimated MTU 1500) [pPPPPpPppPpppppp]

          01 nearest minimum MTU on local interface

          #1 MSS IN RANGE    1 <==  1471 ==>  1472
                  #2 MSS EXCEEDED  1473 <== 14911 ==> 16384

          D:\Dropbox\tools>mtupath.exe 2a01:79d:3e86:5a18:5945:87fd:f332:83c

          MTU path scan to 2a01:79d:3e86:5a18:5945:87fd:f332:83c, ttl=64, limit=48

          16 processing - best MSS 1232 (estimated MTU 1280) [uUUUUuUUuuUUuuuu]

          08 nearest minimum MTU on 2001:470:<snipped>::1 (2 hops away)

          #1 MSS IN RANGE    1 <==  1231 ==>  1232
                  #2 MSS EXCEEDED  1233 <== 15151 ==> 16384</snipped>

            I've asked a user to try tracepath.

            This is the output from a computer where I do have access (although tracepath failes):

              Yeah lots of places no longer follow the rfcs and turn off shit that use to help you trouble shoot.  Its amazing that normal traceroute sometimes works - you almost always run into something that doesn't answer along the way.

              Try the mturoute and mtupath tools.. just google for them and you will find them, or I can post up links to where to get them.  The mtupath tool supports ipv6 while mturoute does not.

                  and what part of that command I don't have os x is telling it not to fragment?  I can send very large pings too, doesn't have anything to do with the mtu really, since will just be fragmented, etc.

                  C:>ping -l 6000 tellmon.net

                  Pinging tellmon.net [79.161.150.134] with 6000 bytes of data:

                    The -D argument makes ping not fragment (the message too long part).
                    Ran the same command from a Mac I borrowed on another (working) network and I did not get any "message too long" errors at all. It went up all the way to 1508 without an issue.

                      I would suggest you sniff on machine with problem and also on your server and see exactly what is happening, is server not answering for some reason.  Is something blocking traffic? etc..

                      Post up the sniffs from both sides and can take a look see.

                        Check your DNS record for tellmom.net.

                        I cannot resolve it, and it dead-ends at Network Solutions.

                          Well the OP domain is tellmon.net not tellmom.net ;)

                          His setup is fine.. if in question with dns problems always just query the authoritative servers for the domain.

                          user@ubuntu:~$ dig @ns1.hyp.net www.tellmon.net

                            There just isn't enough coffee in the world today to get this right…. :)

                            Sorry about that.
