Is that fedora inside of vmware running on the XP box?  or are both
fedora & winxp running in VMs?  

Anyway, keep in mind that traceroute and tracert are not exactly the
same.  tracert send icmp echo packets whereas traceroute uses udp.

You could also try mtr or xmtr on fedora which uses icmp echo.
