I just discovered a new command, which can be run from the CMD window in place of an ordinary ping. Called pathping, it's effectively a combination of ping and tracert:
Tracing route to www.idnet.net [212.69.36.10]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
0 BEANDESK [xx.xx.xx.xx]
1 www.routerlogin.com [xx.xx.xx.xx]
2 telehouse-gw3-msdp.idnet.net [212.69.63.51]
3 redbus-gw.idnet.net [212.69.63.1]
4 www.idnet.net [212.69.36.10]
Computing statistics for 100 seconds...

Sadly, the formatting leaves a bit to be desired!
Apologies if you all knew about this one, but I hadn't stumbled across it before, so thought I would share...
Thats a new one on me as well, Rik. Thanks! :)
Shame the screen doesn't line up rather better, but a useful one for the arsenal (unless you're s spurs fan, of course :))
I found it here (http://commandwindows.com/). There's some other interesting stuff on the site.
Thanks for the link :)
Thanks for that, a handy item at times I'd imagine! ;)
An interesting one for Linux is tracepath, it doesn't appear to do the same thing as the Windows pingpath command but it does provide some useful information.
