Help With TraceRoute problem

We have a Netopia R910 Router connected to our DSL modem.

If I execute tracert www.somesite.com from a command prompt (Win2K SP3
Workstation), the route starts timing out after the router to the Internet
from our ISP. If I execute the Trace Route command for the same
www.somesite.com
from the Utilities menu of the router, it runs to completion. The only
difference is that the first IP address hit from the workstation is the
gateway IP address of the Router. Otherwise, everything works as expected
bewteen our network and the Internet. Executing [ping www.somesite.com]
works
fine from both locations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
TraceRt (and Ping) are using ICMP so anything that blocks those
will interfere -- and it is possible for each router to individually just
refuse to deal with such packets either permently or because it is
temporily busy.
