Using the tracert command If there is a connection problem, you can use the tracert command to check the path to the target IP address and record the result. The tracert command displays a set of IP routers for transferring packets from the computer to the target location, as well as the time required for each hop. If the packet cannot be passed to the target, the Tracert command will display the last router that successfully forwards the packet.
Tracert's most common usage is as follows:
Tracert IP address [-d]
This command returns the list of routers that arrive through the IP address. By using the -d option, the router path will be displayed more quickly, because Tracert does not attempt to resolve the name of the router in the path.
Such as: tracert www.163.com -d tracert www.9cbs.net -d tracert 202.101.224.68 -d About the tracert command details, you can type Tracert at the command prompt - ?.
