My traceroute fails, too:

# traceroute 125.199.254.49
traceroute to 125.199.254.49 (125.199.254.49), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: Network is unreachable

I'm pretty sure it's the router, as well. Is there a tool I'm missing
that would indicate what is causing it to be dropped? My firewall
rules log every blocked packet and there are no entries associated
with the Wii's accesses. 'netstat -rn' shows increasing usage for the
default gatway entry, so it looks like it's finding the correct route
entry. I just never see it leave the pppoe interface (plus an ICMP
error is sent back to the originator.)

Thanks for your help!
