Find Network Path

Use the Find Network Path tool to show on which port,
LAN, WAN or DMZ where appropriate, an IP host is located.
This is helpful to determine if the Internet Firewall is
properly configured. For example, if the Internet Firewall
thinks that a machine known to be on the Internet is
located on the LAN port, then there is a problem with the
configuration of the network or intranet settings. Find
Network Path also shows if the target node is behind a
router, and the Ethernet address of the target node or
router. Find Network Path also shows which router a node
is using, which can help isolate router configuration
problems.
Select Find Network Path from the Choose a diagnostic tool
menu. A window similar to that in Figure 24 is displayed.
