AFAIK tcpwrappers refuse too. but I somehow missed the no route to.. :) and you're right! it needs some investigation: 1. ping to the host 2. traceroute to the host. if you sporadically get the no route problem, it means you have ... a routing problem :) after you finished up with it, you can continue and trouble shoot. routing problem can be cause by your university/enterprise firewall too. you can also investigate with tcpdump, which is a great sniffer.
