Tracert skips hops only see the end IP

Question

When i use tracert for windows it will 'timeout' on all of the address' between my router and the target, the exact number of timeouts represent exactly to the hops it would normally take (i used my laptop to see if it was my router or something).

I have changed over to both preffered and alternate DNS as the public google ones with no change, what is going on?

Answer 1

As security on the network has been steadily increasing, one easy thing that many people do now is to basically disable aspects of ICMP protocol. This prevents responding to traceroutes and returning the FQDN from the hop. Sometimes administrators lock things down do tight that even a ping does not work.

So there is nothing necessarily wrong here.
