running nmap, wait for several minutes already still no result.

Maybe..go wireless broadband..

ping time upto 2733ms
not interested

Yo, last time i did a nmap for a server in M'sia.
Took me 2 days

Becos everyone on internet is hacking it...

Im using 1MB ping avg 1000ms ... not too bad. Used command line tools more than GUI tools.

Try other nmap options without SYN reply.

I'm using remote shell account..
600ms..

choose your location wisely

Telnet to port 25 and 80 seem to be responding but it could be a honeypot system installed.
