Using TRACERT

[pinechow]

Hi all, I am trying to bring a remote site online. The strange thing is that I can PING the site but a TRACERT fails showing timeouts. Can anyone explain this? What am I missing???
Thanks in advance.

some routers block traceroutes

Our networks have Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger computers.
Before our company did the switch and router upgrades, I am able to access a remote machine at IP 210.201.12.20 (altered IP for posting)

After traceroute, I get these results for good and bad machines for comparison.



Good machine:

Note:


On Intel Mac terminal (Tiger 10.4.11), I ran these commands:

sudo arp -d –a

sudo lookupd –flushcache

And reboot

With no success,
Thanks for any advice.
