The problem is I could not view any msdn.microsoft.com/* site and the main site itself on my Ubuntu box on Google Chrome browser. Error is:

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

When I run traceout I get different result:

Here is simple one:

Line 1,2 : It's me

Line from 3-7: It's my Internet provider

Line 8 and on: I think I hit MS servers

WTF line 12-14 ????? 10.22.8.x ????

then I run this traceroute:

sudo traceroute -T msdn.microsoft.com
traceroute to msdn.microsoft.com (65.55.11.235), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

So I hit MSDN web site already at 6 hop ! WTF ???

This is host -a msdn.microsoft.com from me:
