I have been able to ping 35.8.2.3 all day, getting anywhere from between 0 and 100% packet loss. It wasn't till 5:03 this evening that 35.8.2.3 started generating 100% packet loss continuously. Maybe they're blocking ICMP now, but they weren't earlier today....

Margaret, I too am on MSU DSL and have been sharing some speed issues. Your ping issue however is due to the fact that campus is blocking ICMP from all off campus IP's. These include ACD's subnets.

I've been assuming this was due to worm traffic. But shortly after 5:00 today my connection died entirely. ACD moved me to their network temporarily, and wow is it blazing fast compared to how awful my MSU connection's been lately. Although I can now get to the outside world via ACD's network, including MSU's web page, pinging the router (35.8.2.3) gets no response. Anyone have an idea as to what's going on?
