Usually it means that one of the routers does not permit ICMP traffic. You won't see anything beyond that router. That is, if you can connect to the remote host and you see the asterisks, then there is an ICMP block.

I you couldn't connect to the remote host in the first place then your connection might really be broken.

If you follow the manual, look for the chapter "Methods" and try something different like "-T" (tcp).

And sometimes you simply can not do a traceroute.

i am able to execute tracert in xp and it gives proper output.But geting * on all except first line.
If in XP i am getting output,what shall i do to get output of traceroute in ubuntu LTS?

The answer should be because for default traceroute uses UDP packages, tracert uses ICMP package.
try to use traceroute with -I option
