Hi, The error message actually comes from tcptraceroute. gnome-nettool can use either tcptraceroute or traceroute, but prefers the first one. This is easy to change of course, we can patch the source and/or change the depends to prefer traceroute. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
