Mondrin Posted March 28, 2005 CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm not a tracert expert and i've had some odd network behavior on my home system lately and ran it to see what was going on. I'm running XP sp2 with PCCillin 2005 (all pieces installed). With firewall up I can't tracert anything. With it turned off (XP firewall always turned off) I can tracert but the first hop times out. First hop should be my computer and I'm confused why it won't register. Is this normal? My ISP is Comcast and they were unable to ping my computer even with the firewall down.

cak46 Posted March 29, 2005 CID Share Posted March 29, 2005 Welcome to the forum. Do you have a router or hub installed? When I run tracert, my system ip doesn't show, but instead my internal router ip is the first hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicoman Posted March 29, 2005 CID Share Posted March 29, 2005 Your first response is not going to be your computers IP nor the local 127 addy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
