Hi, I have sent 1000 packets to li18-165 and get 20% packet loss. Is there anything going on on this host?

Assuming you meant 64.22.124.165, I just pinged your IP address from my server in Norway. With 200 packets, I experienced 0% packet loss.

Maybe something's going on somewhere on the route from you to your Linode?

Btw, here's my traceroute for comparison:

Thanks it seems to be working OK now.

For future refrence you should check out MTR (Matts TraceRoute/My TraceRoute) to see where the problem is with your connection...
