Traceroute shouldn't work. The incoming interface should decrement the TTL, see that it became 0 and report back to the source. The external interface doesn't even see the packet. So, the first answer should be from the internal interface of your router. The second answer should then be from the router one hop away, ie. the ISP equipment. If it does work, the broadband router does strange things. However, some equipment might report back it's "main" IPaddress instead of said interface address, but don't count on it.

And anyway, you should use the -m (maximum ttl) flag, or it's win32 equivalent, to not let the probes wander of to far.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
