It looks like my "traceroute" problem is related to routing issues. I am using the 10.0.0.x/255.255.255.0 scheme. Here are the static routes defined in my /etc/route.conf. I can ping the hosts on the Internet but cannot traceroute to them. ICMP packets are getting hosed somewhere. Any help or info is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
