This is a brief video tutorial on how to use a fairly basic but quite interesting feature in all modern Windows - the trace route or tracert function.
The tracert function in Windows helps you monitor the route data packets take from your computer to another I.P. address - i.e. a website /server /another computer on a network.

It is because of the router, not your machine.

And it actually passed through all 20, not 19, lol

Every time I try this, The traced IP's are shown almost like a passord

(like this: 1. * * * Request timed out)

any ideas on how to fix this? im running vista, not xp so that might be the problem

the last one is the server you are connecting to, thats right but the route taken is through routers (like the name itself describes)

[gustopn]

the first one is a router and the other are NOT servers! these are routers!
