to prevent you from learning about their routing paths. In these cases, you get back the "1 * * *" type of output from traceroute. Also, by default traceroute attempts to do a reverse DNS on the IP address, so you can speed things up by doing a 'traceroute -n' to avoid this look-up. many commer

what do you mean "hardware firewall"? Dlink DFL-700. AFAIK it doesn't contain in-silicon logic to route/block/pass packets according to rules. it works in the same way like computer running say FreeBSD with network cards, just it's dedicated box. today the "hardware" is abused too much.
