Module 1 Task - Tracert locally cont..

Well worked it out had a feeling it was my new ADSL router firewall settings, so I just played around with the settings until one of them worked (yes I have been called a cowboy in the past!). So removing the ICMP redirection checking from the firewall settings allowed me to run the tracert command from my desktop. The results are below.


Normally I would leave it at that, after all it worked didn't it. However in the spirit of learning I dedcided to go that one step further and find out why disabling this setting fixed my initial problem (oh and there was a slight after thought that perhaps disabling that setting was a security risk being a firewall and all ;-).

So a quick search in google for ICMP redirection checking, immediately gave me the result I was looking for, so to all you out there with a D-Link DSL-G604T, you may want to check out the following post http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/408681.html
