How Do I Get There?
If you're curious about how many routers you pass before you finally reach a destination Web site or other TCP/IP host, run the Trace Route utility included with Win95 TCP/IP Networking. It's interesting to see how many hops (router crossings) it takes to get to a site on the opposite coast or elsewhere. But Tracert.exe is useful for other things as well. It's a helpful tool for determining slow links and Web sites that might be down.

Open MS DOS prompt and type 'TRACERT' and the address you are connected to. This shows you all of the servers that you are connected through, with response times.
