Any packet injected into the NSFNET backbone and destined towards MILNET
is currently only going via the only remaining NSFNET/DDN connection
at NASA Ames (FIX-West). This is in result of the FIX-East move at the
east coast two weeks or so ago and the MILNET connectivity there has not
been restored yet. It should be restored soon, I hope. To my knowledge
the regional networks as well as other agencies were aware of this. You
should really talk to the people who are responsible for your network
connectivity. I only quickly scan TCP-IP mailing stuff and am only seeing
these things by chance. Talking to your direct network provider should yield
faster and reliable responses.

PS: To my knowledge, as soon as DCA signs off on their T1 link beween FIX-East
    and the Mailbridge site we can activate the east coast NSFNET/DDN 
    connection again. DCA is very cooperative here and is also keeping
    NSFNET staff well informed about the progress. Give it a few more days...
