I Hate Network Gremlins

Problems like these really grind my gears.

Starting late Friday night (US EST), I can no longer get responses from dev.catalystframework.org, nor am I getting any of the Cat/DBIC list emails.

Thinking it might be my machine, I started doing traceroutes and connecting to the svn repo with telnet from the router. The traceroute completes. I can connect with telnet and issue a GET /, but I get no response.

Just to rule out my connection, I VPNed into work and tried the same site using my $work machine. Using our main Qwest connection, things work just fine. Using our DSL connection, it doesn't work. That rules out my connection, and either points to SBC/ATT, or some routing/dns issue across the pond sending packets to the wrong place.

Either way, I can't fix this. Heavy sigh. Just what I needed this weekend. Something to obsess about.
