Yeah, it was the NIC problem. it was not configured properly at boot. the
IRQ is not assigned. I overlooked that part when I used ifconfigu to check
this.
It is working ok now asfter I disab led pnp OS in the bios. ANd the bios
configured the irq instead of leaving it to the OS.
Traceroute probably is not the right tool for this. But it pointed me to
the right direction --> NIC problem.
