Hi All,

I am new to this forum, but have puzzling problem.  I can ping testmy.net with the following info:

But I can not seem to get a tracert.  Times out at same hop.  does anyone know what hop this is.  I am running Comcast cable in the Dallas, TX area.  Below is tracert info:

are you running a software firewall???  I would be really suprised if Comcast disabled the tracert function..  I know that PC-cillin disables the tracert function..  most of the firewalls do.. try that and see if solves the problem.. Are you on a router of any type?

By the way.. Welcome to the forum!!

hi cmptrguy99:You can use this site to do a trace until you figure out your problem

http://www.network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&Netnic=whois.arin.net&host=64.185.4.46

Try this & see if you get packet fragmenting:    ping testmy.net -f-l 1460

The l is a small L. Post the results if you want to.  Cholla

that is a really good question.. umm i will see if I can figure that out..

Cholla I have never seen something like that!  That is a great find!! 

Ok a few more questions:

1) Have you power cycled your modem?

2) Have you contacted Comcast about this problem?

3) is more than one computer having this problem?

I would also like you to pm me with the security level that you are running for zone alarm..  Depending on what level you are running ICMP is block/out going only/ or allowed to function..

all that Nat does is "lock" ports that are not used by programs..  so if you dont have any port forward it pretty much stealths them.. 

Hmm.. I would give Comcast a call.. How long have you had you internet?  I am wondering if you are still on the registeration server..  Give them a call and let them know what is going on..  If I have time this weekend I will try and replicate you situtation. I have a Dlink router..  So it should act the same for the most part..
