'Jeff Cook[_2_ said:

Micro's Firewall set to Maximum and discovered the fix.
In the advanced settings of the Firewall, add both programs as allowed.
Then go to the Network Control Protocol window and add two rules. One to
allow Outgoing ICMP (this opened up PING) and another to allow Incoming
ICMP (this fixed TRACERT).
I still show up as fully stealthed even in the DMZ on my router with
Trend's firewall at low.
YMMV
If you notice your tracert may no be going to comcast at all. I just
did this one and...

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>tracert

Tke DNS took me to akamai, but then I hit ping blocking.
If I did the correct address I get
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>tracert comcast.net
Tracing route to comcast.net [63.240.76.72]

Ping blocking still gets in the way though.
So you do have to be very careful what address you are actually using.
