I just tried to ping www.yle.fi, got no response, but I can connect to port 80 on it. Likely someone is blocking all ICMP to it. A traceroute to its address (194.252.88.100) stops at 194.252.88.68, which is probably the router at the site. So it's not getting time exceeded messages out. You may be able to get somewhere by contacting the site admins (if you can find out who that is) and asking them to ensure that (at least) ICMP frag-needed is not blocked there. /Andy
