Traceroute Time Outs - All Hops

Why wouldn't it run without sudo, that's not normal, like it got suid or sgid, maybe try reinstalling traceroute.

Try with different probing methods maybe some firewall blocks default probes (UDP 33434+) or answers (usually ICMP not reachable, time exceeded). Some options to do that: -I, -T, -U. Full list is the manual under "list of available methods".

sudo traceroute -I ... should work whenever ping works

Hey,

Still no luck. I removed traceroute than re-installed it. I also tried the -I (upper case i) and still no luck.

Do you think, this has to do anything with my network card? Like etho vs loop (lo)?

Are you sure you're using the traceroute you've just installed?

$ traceroute
Version 1.4a12
Usage: traceroute [-dFIlnrvx] [-g gateway] [-i iface] [-f first_ttl]
 [-m max_ttl] [ -p port] [-q nqueries] [-s src_addr] [-t tos]
 [-w waittime] [-z pausemsecs] host [packetlen]

$ traceroute -I google.com
traceroute: Warning: google.com has multiple addresses; using 72.14.207.99
traceroute to google.com (72.14.207.99), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

Do you maybe have an empty /etc/protocols file?

Hey,

/etc/protocols is not empty.

The traceroute I have installed with version if posted below. All I did to install it was use

$ sudo apt-get install traceroute

Sweet Wrwrw!

It works. I un-installed the nanog and using the -I works fine :)

Thanks again,
Adam

Thanks Wrwrwr, that solved my question.
