The "* * *" lines mean that you do not receive the ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED
responses from this host, so something is blocking them; this could
happen at the level of your internet provider. This is probably the
reason why netselect fails. Here is how the output should look when it
works:
[...]
14 a1sth-ae4.sunet.se (130.242.82.198) 73.339 ms 73.358 ms 73.376 ms
15 umu-g.sunet.se (193.11.0.226) 82.106 ms 82.123 ms 82.230 ms
16 u2k-te.gw.umu.se (130.239.0.201) 82.771 ms 82.813 ms 82.824 ms
17 svh-te.gw.umu.se (130.239.0.142) 82.750 ms 82.820 ms 81.421 ms
18 napoleon.acc.umu.se (130.239.18.173) 81.510 ms 81.525 ms 82.194 ms
It is a coincidence that I also have exactly 18 steps to the server (I
am in Spain), but I think it is reasonable to expect that the last steps
should be the same for you. These hosts all send the TIME_EXCEEDED
responses; if you do not see them then something must be blocking them
at your end.
