Sorry, I repackaged it again. please see below

OSR5 ->
LINUX (2IPs LAN+WAN) --> Internet
W2K ->

- I can ping the internet but not traceroute from OSR5
- I can do both ping and tracert from W2K to the Internet

> Can you traceroute from OSR5 to any of the local machines by IP
> address? If not, what error message do you get?

Yes, to others but not the LINUX LAN IP

> Can you traceroute from oSR5 to any of the local machines by machine
> name? If you can traceroute by IP, but not by machine name, check the

Yes, but not the LINUX's machine name

No, so my linux is doing something to the package when the source IP
is from the OSR5 only?

The traceroute using name is given below

#traceroute mail.yahoo.com
traceroute to login.yahoo.akadns.net (66.163.171.128), 30 hops max, 40
