I think, this mail connected with this URL. So I block ed this URL in my iptables script: "iptables - A OUTPUT - o ippp0 -p tcp -d http://f2m.aac.com.tw -j REJECT" I wanted to find out the IP number with "ping", but ping timed out without an answer. iptables -L -v produced ff output: OUTPUT ... "211-23-43-85.HINET-IP.hinet.netreject with icmpport unreachable" can somebody tell me the meaning of this output? Is it an odd IP-number or an alias of the URL above?? And why did ping time out without any comment such as icmpport unreachable? Any hint would beappreciated, Hans
