from what google has told me it could be a fake ping from the pc to router, to test this chris has used some of my shielded cat5e cable and got no change from pc to router, but his main concern is the times out from router to 1st hop.

is this looking like a line fault from his BT socket to the exchange ?

thank in advance for any help posted

It could simple be that the device thats timeing out is setup not to respond to trace commands.

Graham M · 13-04-2007, 11:20

Is it actually causing him problems?

KingPhoenix · 13-04-2007, 14:29

Just looks like his gateway doesnt respond to icmp packets... no real loss providing everything is working ok

downquark1 · 13-04-2007, 15:54

What ISP is he on?

I'd agree with KingPhoenix, probably not accepting pings. As for the first hop to the router, I've read about many people asking about that with the Speedtouch, apparently it's pretty normal with that router.
