I dont know about 1.4.2 but I use this:
[CISCO] <-10BaseTCrossovercable-> [ NETBSD Tlp1 IPFilter Tlp0] <---> LAN
the cisco and the Tlp1 network card is on an different net. (2 usable IPs)
It just works.
dave@cat>traceroute www.netbsd.org
traceroute to nbwww.isc.org (204.152.186.171), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 alice (212.41.163.199) 2 ms * 1 ms
2 cisco.turbocat.de (212.41.163.5) 2 ms 2 ms 3 ms
3 cisco1.bln.aball.net (212.76.159.237) 37 ms 29 ms 27 ms
4 topnet-gw.bln.aball.net (212.76.159.234) 48 ms 30 ms 30 ms
(....)
But I do not know why there is always a '*' in the first line of the traceroute.
