I'm assuming that your trace problem is from your router. Standard trace would be: router#trace aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Just in case it's choking on your external ip address -- Try an extended trace: router#trace Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Source address: xxx.yyy.zzz.111 (one of your internal interfaces) Numeric display [n]: Timeout in seconds [3]: Probe count [3]: Minimum Time to Live [1]: Maximum Time to Live [30]: Port Number [33434]: Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]: Type escape sequence to abort.
