I have this problem at home, where I use an SMC firewall in front
of a cable modem. If I connect directly to the the ISP, Linux-based
traceroute works fine. Behind the SMC, everything times out.
M$ machines seem to get through, but not Linux.
Instead, I use "mtr" (see http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/). This
works well for me.
