Strange TCP with 2.5.60

["Kostadin Karaivanov" <larry@minfin.bg>]

Trying to use traceroute i get folowing error:

root@larry:~# uname -a
Linux larry 2.5.60 #20 Tue Feb 11 17:38:42 EET 2003 i686 unknown
root@larry:~# traceroute www.kernel.org
traceroute: findsaddr: Can't find interface

Networking works....... but command route can't give me the status of
default route:

root@larry:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.240.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
root@larry:~# ip route list
192.168.0.0/20 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.12
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo  scope link
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0  metric 1
root@larry:~#

The version of traceroute is 1.4a12
The version of route is net-tools 1.60 / route 1.98 (2001-04-15)

iptables doesn't work as expected too.....

root@larry:~# iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
root@larry:~# iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

everything works fine with 2.5.59 and 2.4.20

I can provide any additional information if needed
