Hi Everyone

Can anyone explain to my why I cant traceroute to anything beyond swiftel? I've disabled all the firewalls etc I had in place... removed anything that I think might be stopping it.. but I still get this problem...

C:\>tracert www.iinet.net.au

Tracing route to www.iinet.net.au [203.59.24.221]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 38 ms 42 ms 34 ms p-nya.swiftel.com.au [202.154.95.169]
2 256 ms 114 ms 18 ms p-nya.swiftel.com.au [202.154.95.1]
3 * * * Request timed out.

15 * * * Request timed out.
16 * * * Request timed out.
17 * * * Request timed out.
18 * * * Request timed out.
19 * *

(I cancelled at this point)

It just wont go beyond the swiftel routers... its most annoying cause I use it to ensure sites etc are connected to the waix.

Thanks in advance for any help you can office - cheers

This question has been answered in the following thread

If you want to check ping or traceroutes, I've got web based tools for both at:

http://www.e-mailme.org/cgi-bin/trace for traceroute

and http://www.e-mailme.org/ping/ for pings

Thanks for that - once I knew the problem was with me , I went looking for a fix.. I found an alternative..

Download the attached zip file ( or goto http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8563796~root=speakeasy~mode=flat)

It has an alternative tracert file for windows that doesnt have the same error.

It works well ... Very handy...
