Is it just me?
I suspect not, but perhaps someone (preferably in the UK) can confirm:

CEHJ,
I've just remembered, Freeserve is now Wanadoo - and Wanadoo is French.
My traceroute makes more sense now!
It's just you... ;-)
telnet pop.freeserve.com 110 yields:
+OK connected to pop3 on 3202
Looks good to me.
I was being impatient!

heh, looks like we're divided on this... if you are asking if you are the only one that can't tracert that address, no you are not.
if you are asking if you are the only one that can reach that address, then yes you are :)

CEHJ,
Talk to your ISP (Energis)? It looks like they've got a routing problem.
DVation191: it makes sense that a traceroute would fail on the France Telecom network.
It's probably hitting a firewall of some flavour.

mikebernhardt,
Didn't you know that having fun when helping someone solve a problem isn't allowed? ;-)
It's the French again :-)
I'm guessing that CEHJ's question is that he/she can't contact the POP3 server - which I think is a problem with his ISP.
Of course, he/she might have running traceroute's a a hobby.
Only one way to find out... CEHJ! :-)

Well while I was pondering how to express my magnificent sense of humor, it looks like a lot of useful discussion took place. And I can't get past France Telecom either with a traceroute from both Windows and Solaris. But on Solaris I get the following:
Warning: pop.freeserve.com has multiple addresses; using 193.252.22.137
And then the trace fails in France. So it could be that one of freeserve's sites is down or something.

And then the trace fails in France. So it could be that one of freeserve's sites is down or something.
I've managed to telnet to port 110 of pop.freeserve.com
So, I imagine it's just a firewall stopping the ping/traceroute.
I'm guessing that the problem CEHJ's encountering is related to his/her ISP.

No - after a brief second honeymoon with my mail server, looks like it's filing for divorce again ... :-(
telnet pop.freeserve.com 110
...yields...
+OK connected to pop3 on 3013
I can't run a traceroute from here unfortunately.
Kick Energis?
