Im a bit confused

Hi all,

Can someone explain this perhaps? I have no idea why MT is doing what it’s doing…

[cknipe@WMEO01-CORE01] > /ip route pr

However, the below works as expected:

[root@amnesiac /usr/home/cknipe]# traceroute 196.x.x.29
traceroute to 196.x.x.29 (196.x.x.29), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

 2  192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1)  346.899 ms  336.507 ms  341.442 ms
...

What I don’t get however…

[root@amnesiac /usr/home/cknipe]# tcptraceroute 196.x.x.29 120
Selected device sge0, address 198.19.255.3, port 17917 for outgoing packets

MT is routing ICMP properly through the PPTP tunnel as per the static route on the routing table, but it is sending TCP as per the default route on the routing table… Yet, there are no mangle rules, no packet / route marks, and no policy routes what so ever…

Why?

Did try the obvious such as rebooting the router, deleting / re-adding the routes, etc… MT 4.11 on a x86

Many thanks,

did you try to reset your config and make it from scratch?.. or maybe show your export/supout.rif…
