Things do not *have* to respond to pings, so a ping can only test how it responds to pings, rather than be a definitive test of being able to reach something. When you're accessible to the world, and every byte costs you money, you may decide to disable all but the essential traffic. > traceroute www.google.com gives immediately the list of nodes. I seem to recall traceroute does, or can, use a different protocol. Read the manuals. > Could it be somehow due to not flushing firewalld rules ? (I don't > know much about firewalld) Unless you've made special rules, Fedora tends to allow this sort of traffic. I get a different IP responding to www.google.com, there are some responses to pings, and to some of the hops along the route. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
