Well, this isn't very instructive.

$ /usr/sbin/traceroute www.comcast.net
traceroute: Warning: www.comcast.net has multiple addresses; using
204.127.205.8
traceroute to www.comcast.net (204.127.205.8), 30 hops max, 38 byte
packets
 1  * * *
[repeat]
30  * * *

My gateway is 207.225.112.221, my IP is 71.212.236.2

I can ping 204.127.205.8 just fine.

Hmmm. I find I can't traceroute to my website either. Wonder if the
ActionTec is blocking the return packets.
