You can try python-scapy.

Hi Quasar, I found Scapy 's project website, but i am no expert on Linux, not sure how to install and use it, could you please tell me more?

Many thanks

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

It's already ported. Just find python-scapy in extras-devel. Or download it here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...2.0.1-1maemo2/

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

thanks Quasar

Quasar, please do not point users to extras-devel without a warning, especially if they admit not being experts with Linux.

roja, you can find traceroute functionality in nmap (in Extras) by using "nmap --traceroute host"

Traceroute can be obtained from the Fremantle Developer Tools collection. See,

What's the big issue about traceroute? It's in the tools repository:

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

hi Patola, the reason for me to use traceroute on N900 is that i would like to know which AP(GPRS) it connects to, and to make sure it is my mobile provider(which provides correct mobile internet services).

Guys, i wonder if it is possible to connect to a 3rd party AP rather than your mobile provider? or is there this kind of 3rd party AP available??? for example, for faster connection or a connection allows for VOIP if your ISP doesn't allow it???

Many thanks

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

What do you mean "3rd party AP"? Do you want to use another mobile operator to connect using GPRS? It is not possible, to use GSM throw one operator and GPRS throw another one.

P.S.: sorry for my English.

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

There is also mtr-tiny available from a private repository

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

Hi Quasar, my question is about using a 3rd party AP for GPRS connection, for example you are a Vodafone customer, but you want to connect to O2 GPRS AP because it is faster, is this possible?

Many thanks

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

normally you can only connect to the APN which is provided by your phone company. Maybe if some resellers are also using the same network, you could use there APNs. but I guess that is not possible because of how they should bill you for that?

@Patola
anything special about what you did to get traceroute listed in apt-get? i tried last nicht and today but all i get is an error that it is not listed :-(

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

roja, no it is not possible on N900.

Re: anyone needs Traceroute, can try this
 

thanks assetburned and Quasar, sounds like you can only connect to the AP provided by mobile service provider.

For the traceroute package:

1.) Make sure you have the Fremantle SDK catalogue installed into App. Manager. If its not, install it using the following:
address: http://repository.maemo,org
distribution: fremantle/sdk
components: free non-free
2.) from x-terminal, type "apt-get install traceroute"
