I get that "Permission denied" at the beginning regardless of where I might try tracing "outside" (external interface - dc0) e.g. it works just fine to my local net (local interface - dc1). Up until a few days ago, traceroute "worked fine" and never (as far as I recall) reported such a message. Btw, that 10.108.0.1 hop has been there for ages, and while I think it's "unusual" it has been there for ages & hasn't previously affected traces. The difference between previous & now is that "traceroute: sendto: Permission denied" message What does that mean? What is traceroute trying to do? I tried the "tracert" from a local (NATed) Win2k machine & that seems to work as it always has. {shrug} Any idea(s) what's (not) happening? Is my upstream connection blocking something (again)? Is there some kind of workaround/fix (perhaps my firewall config)? Thanks, -kc
