Sorry, but what is tracert???
Type tracert into your Windows help index for a detailed explanation. Tracert is included in all Windows versions. (I can't remember the Linux equivalent.)
From a command prompt (DOS box) type the tracert command and a destination that can be pinged. It would look like this-
tracert google.com
The output of that command will list every router between you and the nearest Google server and the time it took the request to be returned from each of those routers including your own. Allot of sites don't return pings anymore so be sure you ping the site before your tracert to it. (You do know the Ping command correct?)
