Perhaps someone can help explain this odd behavior. If I do a traceroute to any host on the Internet it times out. If I ping the host first and then do a traceroute it works fine. Things I have checked based on searching the mailing list archives: I am not running ipfw (firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf) I am not running ipf (ipfilter_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.comf) Other facts: This machine is running a generic, clean copy of FreeBSD 4.4. I have a Linksys BEFSR11 (one-port) router with default configuration. My 'net connection is an AT&T/RoadRunner/MediaOne cable modem. Even though I have an easy work-around I'd still appreciate help figuring out why this is happening. Thanks!
