If you cannot connect to a computer over a network, there might be something wrong with the remote PC or with your Internet connection. Or your router might need a reset. Or your Internet provider could be having a temporarily problem that they'll eventually solve. Or maybe it's the fault of one of the routers, switches, access points, servers, or other network hosts that are in between you and the remote computer. How would you know for sure?
In the beginning of the Internet, a tool called traceroute was introduced in Unix. Traceroute does exactly what its name suggests: it traces the route of IP packets while they travel from your PC to the remote destination. The tool essentially allows you to see exactly where the connectivity problem is, no matter how far it is from your computer. The last host to respond to traceroute is the last host that is working properly. The first one that fails to respond is the faulty one.
There is a free tool called tracert.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to traceroute the remote PC. To use tracert.exe, you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type tracert.exe followed with the IP address of the computer you want to check. Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You get the response in a Spartan-looking black console window.
While there's nothing particularly wrong in using the supplied tracert.exe, we at Soft Institute wrapped the same thing into a much more convenient package. SI Trace provides clearly legible, well-formatted output by providing easy to understand numbers and well-explained results. It displays all the vital information from classic Unix traceroute and Windows tracert commands, and allows you to check more than one computer by simply selecting the address from a combo box. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it is much more convenient to use than Windows tracert.

Trace Route Wizard allows a programmer to trace the route a packet must take to get to any specified address(IP or FQDN). It is very intuitive and straight forward. Fully ActiveX compliant, Trace Route Wizard also is setup to be used excellently in ASP scripted pages, or any ActiveX compliant scriptable languages because it has methods that utilize events and special methods that let you step through the process. You also get an immense amount of information regarding each Hop and also supports multiple attempts per hop. All of the functionality of the program that comes with Windows tracert.exe plus much more. You get information like: Time To Live of Returned Packets Packet Data Size of returned packets Round Trip Time of hop attempts Average, Minimum, and Maximum Round Trip Times of entire Hops plus much more You can also set how everything happens, like: Amount of time to wait per Hop attempt How many attempts per Hop Maximum Hops to check Amount of data to send in trace packets plus much more A lot of computer users know about the TraceRt program that comes with windows and Unix. It is a handy tool for figuring out where the network latency is coming from by show the exact path a packet has to take from the local machine to the target server. By looking at each step in the path, you can see where the packet is getting tied up and which routers are overloaded or antiquated. TraceRoute Wizard gives you all of this power and lets you put it right into your application. It is great for network monitoring applications, network diagnostics, latency checkups, and many more projects. This control works with any ActiveX container and even works in ActiveX scriptable languages such as VBScript |
