How to use tracert in Windows
2What is tracert? Tracert is computer software or a utility that lists the networks data has to traverse from the user's originating end device to a distant destination network.
Tracert output shows how many hop to get to a destination & which path to get to a destination.
Tracert allows the user to identify the path taken to reach a particular destination on the network or across internetworks since the nature of the interconnected network or internet is a "meshed" nature.
The first output line should show the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) followed by the IP address.
The second test/experiment is when if DNS is not available, the IP address of the destination device has to be entered after the tracert command instead of the server name.
