Traceroute doesn't seem to work for me because (I assume) I'm sitting behind a router. Here's what the same traceroute gives me:
I am behind a router also. Everyone should be, or a box used as a router, IMNSHO.
pwa@suillus:~> traceroute 24.91.182.73 traceroute to 24.91.182.73 (24.91.182.73), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 router (192.168.1.1) 0.988 ms 0.581 ms 0.597 ms
IIANM, 24.91.182.73 is you, thus it finishes at your router. 24... is the address your email appears to be _from_.
Any suggestions on how to get traceroute to work in a more revealing way?
Try doing a trace to me, 24.208.208.146.
By the way, my apologies for posting my question twice. The second posting was before I saw your answer.
not a problem. BUT, we both probably need to know more about, have a better understanding of the internet and network design. AIUI, the router is a block that you may program to allow/disallow traffic from/to/thru the internet. When I do a traceroute to anywhere outside my router, the router is always the first address listed. I would guess that your router address is 192.168.1.1, mine is 192.168.0.1. I believe that _all_ the 192..... block is internal addressing. Perhaps you have not programmed (is it necessary) your router to allow traceroute traffic outside ?? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
