[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi All, Perhaps someone can help me once again with a little annoyance. My network connection appears fine, I can access Mail, News, Web etc. Pings also work fine. However whenever I try to traceroute, anything beyond the initial hop (my router) is not returning I just get:- 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * etc I though I may be my router, but the other 3 computers on my network (a RedHat 7.3 / Windows 98, Windows Me & a WIndows 2K laptop) Work fine. So then I though ok perhaps it is the default firewall on the FreeBSD 4.6 installation. I tried listing the firewall rules, but just got:- ipfw: getsockopt (IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available Next I tried flushing any firewall rules, says "yes" I was sure, but I got the same error as above. Can anyone shed some light onto the problem and a possible solution, cheers. Lee.
