Action
Click Start → Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt.
Result: The Command Prompt window appears.
At the Command prompt, type ping <destination IP
address> (for example, ping 200.286.32.0), or ping <computer
name>.
Press Enter.
Result: The system displays the ping results.
Type Exit to exit the Command Prompt window and return to
Windows.
Tracert sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets
with varying Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination.
Each router along the path must decrement the TTL on a packet by at
least 1 before forwarding it, so the TTL is effectively a hop count.
When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router sends back an ICMP
Time Exceeded message to the source system.
Tracert determines the route by sending the first echo packet with a TTL
of 1, and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission
until the target responds, or the maximum TTL is reached.
Tracert then examines the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back
by intermediate routers.
