Octavio,

Do remember that Traceroute (or 'tracert' in Win32) is done differently in
Unix and Win32.  In Win32 the traceroute is done by sending out ICMP ECHO
REQUESTS with incremented IP TTLs.  In most Unixes, it sends out UDP packets
starting at destination port 33434, then incrementing, as well as
incrementing the IP TTL.  I'm not sure from your note (below) which is
working.  Windows machines? or Unix?

HI Kathleen, thanks for your interest. I have found that the problem is only
with the win X machines, and no with Unix machines. 
 
For the windows machines it does not drop any packet, so I'm sure is a
windows limitation.
 
thanks again
