I don't have any Pipelines here -- we've got Maxen -- so I was just making
sure that when you said it didn't work from your Win95 box that the
trouble wasn't the Win95 box or filtering or something other than NAT.  I
have customers who use NAT and no one has complained to me about
traceroute not working, so I guess it's not important to them. <shrug>
The only folks who complain about traceroute not working are my dial-up
customers and it *does* work if you don't use the broken tracert that
comes with windows.
