Also, just for grins and giggles, the output of the route command from all the machines would be handy if the traceroutes aren't getting too far. A great many guesses come to mind as to why traces would end as you describe, and with the requested info, some of those could be ruled out. Also, I don't gleem from your note where the traceroute machines are relative to the Fedora machine. Same segment? Same lan, different segment? Elsewhere? -- Cheers, John Stroud
