APPENDIX A: Tools for Your Router
A.4 TRACERT
TRACERT is an extensive PING utility that allows you to trace the route of an IP
address. The utility reports the number of router hops, the time for each hop, and
any failed attempts to cross a hop. The information provided by this utility assists
you to locate the specific site of a failed PING. You can run TRACERT at the DOS
prompt (for example, c:\tracert www.yahoo.com). The utility will provide
information about the route and number of hops required to reach the
destination IP address associated with the network address or URL.
