I get that message when pinging 8.8.4.4 (My ISP is BellSouth.net and I
live in Louisville, KY). Here's a traceroute of it:

Umm, no one cares about my problem? I hope that's not the case...

Hi Zero3K,

We did not ignore your problem.  Our engineering team has some thoughts about this kind of behavior with traceroute but is not completely sure what the problem is.  We are not sure if it is just a bug in traceroute, and we are still investigating it before making any conclusion.  In the meantime, we would like to know about your DNS queries against 8.8.4.4.  Are you able to successfully use Google Public DNS to resolve DNS queries?  If you have problems, please share with us the results of dig or nslookup (to the degree that you feel comfortable).  Thanks!

Jeremy
