I traceroute through mine all the time. The only problem I see is
with the network. I can't talk to systems on friends DSL lines.
The routing between DSL lines dosen't work on the central DSL hub.
Questions:
Who is your ISP? - they might be blocking.
Have you checked your software on your computer? Is it properly
setup? Could it be blocking the packets? Turn on logging of
denighed/rejected packets.
Another question is your 675 in bridging mode or routing mode?
In bridging mode it shouldn't do any filtering except maby on
the MAC address. In routing mode I think it can be told to do
rudimentary filtering. If you can access it's http server to
set configuration options, it's in routing mode. Placing it
in bridging disables the http server. Warning, don't change it
from bridging or routing mode to the other as both ends of the
link need to agree.
