Well, a firewall might be rejecting you or the reply.
Switch off all firewalls-- on your machine, your router, etc to see if
that might be the problem.

(switch them on again after the test)

Personally when I'm troubleshooting something I take into account the 
fact that some hops handle ICMP, UDP, and TCP differently.  One of my 
preferred tools for testing access to a server is Steve Gibson's IDServe 
which runs under windows or WINE in linux and doesn't require 
installation in either.

For this target I would be using TCP port 80 on/at the webserver at 
centos.  The tool shows my system resolving the IP and connecting to the 
webserver there.

Initiating server query ...
Looking up IP address for domain: www.centos.org
The IP address for the domain is: 72.232.194.162
Connecting to the server on standard HTTP port: 80
[Connected]  Requesting the server's default page.
The server returned the following response headers:
[redact html from the centos Apache server]
Query complete.

 From the other info you've posted here, your system when not reaching 
centos on port 80 TCP IDServe would show you resolving the name but not 
connecting, which IDServe interprets as the server being stealthed or 
not online, so its use wouldn't add anything to this particular 
problem's solution; but I mention it as an indication that 'typically' I 
don't use an ICMP tool to test some TCP-related server issues.

Which was why I suggested 
telnet centos.org 80
but that did not return anything for him. Everyone else in the world has
no trouble connecting but he does and he wants to know why.

That's a perfect summary!
I can't imagine that I'm singled out in this world for not
connecting, for months at a time, to centos.org (it happened
with one other web site - but it was so long ago that I've
forgotten which it was).

One question I have is WHICH site is dropping my packets?

Is it the last site that returns traceroute values?
Os is it the first site that has all asterisks?

Is it hop 15 or 16 above which is dropping my packets?

I'm beginning to wonder if anything after about 15 hops is 
dropping the connection for me?

Could it be that the path to centos.org just happens to be 
longer than any other path I've tried?

The path to the centos bug server you gave me worked fine, but
it only took 15 hops.

Do you have a way for me to pick somewhere far far away from 
San Francisco CA to see if it's simply the long path that is 
causing the problem (i.e., more than 16 hops)?

Hi Chris,
I posted my "traceroute -M centos.org" results
because I truly want to UNDERSTAND what is going
on.

If the problem is that my packets are too large, 
how does one control that in a web browser?

The ping is merely my diagnostic tool. 

The *real* problem is that, for months at a time, I
can't connect (via any web browser not on TOR) to: 
 http://centos.org

With TOR, I can connect easily - so it's not the 
Centos site itself.

QUESTION: How do I control packet size in Firefox?

Hi Chris,

I appreciate your help as I'm trying to UNDERSTAND the problem, 
which is that, for months on end, I can't connect via the web
to http://centos.org where a traceroute shows that the penultimate 
connection is dropping me. (So I am forced to use TOR and all
works fine - albeit slowly.)

Then, for months at a time, I *can* connect to centos.org, 
where the traceroute shows the connection going through.

Googling for what an MTU is, I see it's the max size of a packet:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit

Ethernet has an MTU limit, it appears, of 1500 bytes, so I can 
see why you're suggesting 1400 bytes.

I don't have much ethernet in the picture though, as I'm on
a laptop connected by WiFi to my home broadband router which 
itself is wired by POE to a rooftop antenna which goes over
WiFi about five miles to the WISP antenna where I lose control.

So, I assume you would want me to modify that command:
 ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400
To:
 "ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1400

Here's what ifconfig just reported:
# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:a0:00:3a:4f:23  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:11 Memory:f2600000-f2620000 

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:a0:00:6a:9b:3d  
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:267437 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:167343 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:311152648 (296.7 MiB)  TX bytes:29413063 (28.0 MiB)

So I ran the following:
# ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1400
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:a0:00:6a:9b:3d  
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1400  Metric:1
          RX packets:267437 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:167343 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:311152648 (296.7 MiB)  TX bytes:29413063 (28.0 MiB)

And, then I tried to connect via Firefox to centos.org, but it still
timed out.

Should I change the mtu even further down, say, to 1000 so that
Firefox can connect to http://www.centos.org?

Your basic problem in this entire discussion
is that you have no concept of the very basics in networking -
called - a protocol stack -

Here is the TCP/IP version -

Application (like email, browser, etc)
Transport (specify ports on computers)
Internet (addressing & routing)
Link (physical)

The browser lives at the very top - as an Application
and has NO knowledge of ANY protocol issues at the lower layers.
So, to keep asking about how the fix the browser is meaningless.

The lower layers are where TCP (Transport Control Protocol)
and the IP (Internet Protocol) address live.

Next - is the physical and link....   this is the magic of "transmit" and 
"receive" -

SO - some routers and website might turn of their responses to ICMP messages 
(ping/echo etc)
and it might appear they are not responding to those tools - but in fact - 
they are "ignoring" them.

On the topic of MTU (the size of the packets transmitted)
I have never had a website not respond,
but have had probs with a school system called Blackboard
that would not function properly on a DSL line
due to a MTU being less than the Blackboard required value of 1500.

WEIRD -
I can ping and traceroute to -->  centos.org
but it does NOT reply to my browser request ??

He may not have, but it is irrelevant. He is not able to connect. Can
you give him the cause? Can you suggest how he fix it? It is like if you
brought me your car to fix and I told you that you had no concept of the
basics of the Standard Model of particle phyics as if such knowledge
would help you fix your car.

And you now call this weird. I thought you had an intimate knowledge of
the protocol layers. Why is this weird?

Note that I have absolutely no trouble connecting to centos.org.

A fortuituous circumstance has occurred. 
I can now connect to centos.org, via the web, ping, traceroute, etc!
I do NOT know what changed.
Here's what happened in the interim:
1. I wrote to the related sysadmins (I did not receive a response)
2. I changed my MTU (but it made no difference)
3. I changed machines (Win7, Centos, & Knoppix) which made no difference
4. I changed the TTL which also made no difference

Yet, look below. The route is completely different!

I'm not sure why the traaceroute is much longer, and, it stopped 
before Centos.org, but, the proof is in the taste of the pudding
in that a Firefox connection to http://www.centos.org works all
of a sudden.

Q: What changed?

You're now talking to another IP, i.e. probably another system. Someone
in this thread noted that the other IP was with Akamai. Probably some
remains of a torn down accelleration setup? Who knows.

If I understand you correctly, what you're saying is that
yesterday, Centos.org was hosted on 72.232.194.162 while, 
today, it's hosted on 85.12.30.227.

For some reason, I couldn't get to 72.232.194.162 yesterday,
while my neighbors could get to it; but, today, I only need
to get to 85.12.30.227, which works fine for me.

I just tried pinging 72.232.194.162, and it fails to return.

A traceroute to that same IP address still fails today.

So, I guess all that changed is that Centos.org moved servers, and, well, 
the original server (of yesterday) was unreachable by me, but most of you
(and my neighbors) could reach it.

At least this moving of servers can explain why my ability to reach 
the server comes and goes - but - what I still don't get is why I couldn't
(and can't) reach the old server and all of you guys could.

Could it be DNS problem you are having on your own ?
When the problem occurs http://@IP might give confirmation.
If your router is mtu-modifiable lower it to 150 thereabouts
along with your network card and see what happens.

DNS? Hmmm... would switching DNS servers affect the route taken?
I'll try that, but, putting the IP address in the URL does not help.

For example, http://85.12.30.227/ does the same thing as does
http://www.centos.org as does http://centos.org

A red herring. The dns simply translates names to IP addresses.  It does
not do anything else and certainly does not alter routes (unless the
address changes).

To update, the only small victory I can report is that, for 
some reason, the RADIO on the roof (which is equivalent to 
your DSL/Cable modem) *can* ping & traceroute to centos.org
but the computers in the house can not.

That would imply it's the Netgear WNDR router, but, I updated
it to the latest firmware and looked at all the settings, and 
changed a few (e.g., the MTU) but it didn't have any positive
effect.
a. I can't access centos.org from any computer by any method.
b. I *can* ping/traceroute centos.org from the rooftop radio.

What gets me is that the Netgear WNDR router is pretty much 
set up just like anyone would have set it up for a home. I left
everything at the defaults other than what absolutely had to 
be changed to give it WPA2-PSK and a static IP address for 
the radio (which the WISP gives me).

Is there any particular setting you think I should check on the 
Netgear WNDR3200 router that might be the culprit?

Well, I do not know if you can do it on your router, but you could try a
tcpdump at the router of the packet sent to centos.or when you ping it
from your machine and when you ping it from your router to see what the
difference is. Of course, your router might not have tcpdump capability,
but comparing those would seem to me to be the only way.

You could capture a ping packet, say, from your computer and post it (I
believe it is only 80 bytes long) and maybe someone can see something
funny in it. I cannot. 

centos does respond to pings, I have tried it.

No, but you're talking of two different IP addresses,
and IP addresses are the only things routing cares
about.

When you supply the name of a website, it gets translated
to an IP address by DNS. If you get two different IP's,
it is quite natural that they may have different routes,
and only one of the sites responds.

Many Web servers do also care of the name of the target
site supplied also in the HTTP protocol headers. This
is how there can be many websites under the same IP.
