[SOLVED] tracert is showing only source and destination

[HoloTheWise]

TraceRT is always give me 2 hops, no matter the server I ping. (none are on the same network, or in the same state)

Example to my server in Amsterdam
Tracing route to no-reverse-yet.3winfra.com [192.162.13*.***]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms Chef [192.168.1.1]
2 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms no-reverse-yet.3winfra.com [192.162.13*.***]

Any idea why its only giving me 2 hops? I'm east coast USA and the server is in Amsterdam.

and its not just with this IP. any IP I put in its always 2 hops...


This only started after I got verizon fios... I have a feeling it may be due to having my fios plugged right into my router and not using a modem maybe. I know more info will be needed but I'll try to provide as much as possable

Network layout
Fios box (ehternet) > Router > PC


I noticed something weird. When I do ipconfig it throws a local address at me for my IPV4

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : verizon.net
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4872:2316:7e0d:ac88%6
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.114
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

maybe these issues are connected

A single hop would be common if you had a vpn directly to the site but the latency is not.

It is impossible to get latency of 1ms to something that far away. You would have to have a magic ISP that has found a way to travel faster than the speed of light.

Make sure you ping via IP address and not name. A lot of sites use very multiple data centers very similar to this site which uses Akamai to improve the performance by distributing the traffic to multiple location.

It would do it that way if ur running a vpn.

Your ISP might be dropping your traceroute.
