> My traceroute has not worked since 2.1.26 + 2.1.26-patch3 or with 2.1.27. A
nother friend also reports the same. It's definately affecting more than
one or two of us. The traceroute i'm using is from Redhat 4.1 which is tr
aceroute-1.0.4.4bsd.
I'm apparently running the same version of traceroute (rpm -qf reports
traceroute-1.0.4.4bsd-2) and I have no problems (unless we forget to put
the traceroute patch into the masquerading options in the kernel of the dialout
box, in which case we can't traceroute beyond that ;)
I'm also running 2.1.27, have binutils-2.7.0.9, gcc-2.7.2.1, ld.so-1.8.10,
NetKit-0.09, libc-5.4.22 on a run-of-the-mill 32Mb P133 with a really
butchered Red Hat Linux 2.1.3.0.3.4.0.4.1+a few tgz archives of important
stuff like kernels & libc.
Traceroute broke once, back on an early 2.1.x kernel version, but has worked
fine ever since.
The net card is a basic ISA ne2000 compatible, and I've had no problems with
that either (maybe because it has Real Men's Plug & Play options, aka jumpers)
Hope this info is useful to someone tracking down the problem.
