All that means is that their firewall doesn't respond to pings. That tells you nothing about whether they are or are not genuine.

Yes, they are all fine.

If you don't understand the insignificance of interfaces having been configured to ignore LCP echo requests then don't perform that test and concern yourself.

"fraudulent rDNS"?

That machine is owned by NTL (Virgin Media), and probably has nothing to do with Experian other than the fact that both you and Experian use them as their ISP.

Ok thanks. That's why I posted this here cos there's always someone more knowledgeable than myself.

And when was the sam spade project abandoned? At the end did it actually interrogate all of the relevant servers?

If you use use some of the on-line ping/traceroot/whois tools you probably will not get the problems.
