Tracert in XP
No, it happens with all addresses except for servers which
are listed in the DNS. So apparently it is somehow DNS related? -----Original Message----- Lois; Is 192.168.0.118 the only address this happens with??? -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , Lois hunted and pecked: yes it will return the host name and ip number. but will not return the host name based on the ip number. -----Original Message----- Lois; tracert 192.168.0.118 It does the exact same thing for me. :-( If you type: tracert host name with the real host name, does it return 192.168.0.118?? -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , Lois hunted and pecked: yes, that does show up. if I type tracert 192.168.0.118 it returns 110ms 10ms 10ms 192.168.0.118 It never gives me the host name associated with 192.168.0.118. -----Original Message----- Lois; Try this: Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK | When the cmd window opens type: tracert | ENTER Does this show up?? ========= Usage: tracert [-d] [-h maximum_hops] [-j host-list] [- w timeout] target_name Options: -d Do not resolve addresses to hostnames. -h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target. -j host-list Loose source route along host- list. -w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply. ============== If this shows up, tracert.exe is working. If you get another message it may not be working. What do you get?? -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , Lois hunted and pecked: Wow, now that was a wealth of knowledge. Thanks. Unfortunately, it appears tracert just isn't working on this box. Any way to repair it? -----Original Message----- Lois; Make sure you aren't using the -d option [[Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.]] To trace a path by using the tracert command . Open Command Prompt, and type the following: tracert host_name Or, type tracert ip_address where host_name or ip_address is the host name or IP address, respectively, of the remote computer. For example, to trace a connection route from this computer to www.microsoft.com, type the following at a command prompt: tracert www.microsoft.com If you do not want the tracert command to resolve and display the names of all routers in the path, use the -d parameter. This expedites the display of the path. For example, to trace a path from this computer to www.microsoft.com without displaying the router names, type the following at a command prompt: tracert -d www.microsoft.com Note . To open command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. . The tracert command traces the path by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request and Echo Reply messages (similar to the ping command) to produce command- line report output about each router that is crossed and the roundtrip time (RTT) for each hop. Packet filtering policies on routers, firewalls, or other types of security gateways might prevent the forwarding of this traffic. . If tracert is unsuccessful, you can use the command output to help determine at which intermediate router forwarding failed or was slowed. . For details about packet forwarding and packet loss at each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. ============== Tracert Determines the path taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination with incrementally increasing Time to Live (TTL) field values. The path displayed is the list of near-side router interfaces of the routers in the path between a source host and a destination. The near-side interface is the interface of the router that is closest to the sending host in the path. Used without parameters, tracert displays help. Syntax tracert [-d] [-h MaximumHops] [-j HostList] [-w Timeout] [TargetName] Parameters -d : Prevents tracert from attempting to resolve the IP addresses of intermediate routers to their names. This can speed up the display of tracert results. -h MaximumHops : Specifies the maximum number of hops in the path to search for the target (destination). The default is 30 hops. -j HostList : Specifies that Echo Request messages use the Loose Source Route option in the IP header with the set of intermediate destinations specified in HostList. With loose source routing, successive intermediate destinations can be separated by one or multiple routers. The maximum number of addresses or names in the host list is 9. The HostList is a series of IP addresses (in dotted decimal notation) separated by spaces. -w Timeout : Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds to wait for the ICMP Time Exceeded or Echo Reply message corresponding to a given Echo Request message to be received. If not received within the time-out, an asterisk (*) is displayed. The default time-out is 4000 (4 seconds). TargetName : Specifies the destination, identified either by IP address or host name. -? : Displays help at the command prompt. Remarks . This diagnostic tool determines the path taken to a destination by sending ICMP Echo Request messages with varying Time to Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path is required to decrement the TTL in an IP packet by at least 1 before forwarding it. Effectively, the TTL is a maximum link counter. When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router is expected to return an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the source computer. Tracert determines the path by sending the first Echo Request message with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds or the maximum number of hops is reached. The maximum number of hops is 30 by default and can be specified using the -h parameter. The path is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages returned by intermediate routers and the Echo Reply message returned by the destination. However, some routers do not return Time Exceeded messages for packets with expired TTL values and are invisible to the tracert command. In this case, a row of asterisks (*) is displayed for that hop. . To trace a path and provide network latency and packet loss for each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. . This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections Examples To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com, type: tracert corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and prevent the resolution of each IP address to its name, type: tracert -d corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and use the loose source route 10.12.0.1-10.29.3.1-10.1.44.1, type: tracert -j 10.12.0.1 10.29.3.1 10.1.44.1 corp7.microsoft.com -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , Lois hunted and pecked: Why doesn't tracert work the same in XP as it does in W2K? I just want to get the hosts names associated with a specific IP address. These hosts are workstations on the network. -----Original Message----- Lois; How to Use TRACERT http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx? scid=kb;en- us;314868 Tracert http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...tion/windows/x p/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_tcpip_pro_tracert.mspx How to Troubleshoot TCP/IP Connectivity with Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx? scid=kb;en- us;314067 Microsoft Windows XP - Trace a path by using the tracert command http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...tion/windows/x p/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_tcpip_pro_tracert.mspx -- Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, it appears tracert just isn't working on this box. Any way to repair it? -----Original Message----- Lois; Make sure you aren't using the -d option [[Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.]] To trace a path by using the tracert command . Open Command Prompt, and type the following: tracert host_name Or, type tracert ip_address where host_name or ip_address is the host name or IP address, respectively, of the remote computer. For example, to trace a connection route from this computer to www.microsoft.com, type the following at a command prompt: tracert www.microsoft.com If you do not want the tracert command to resolve and display the names of all routers in the path, use the -d parameter. This expedites the display of the path. For example, to trace a path from this computer to www.microsoft.com without displaying the router names, type the following at a command prompt: tracert -d www.microsoft.com Note . To open command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. . The tracert command traces the path by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request and Echo Reply messages (similar to the ping command) to produce command- line report output about each router that is crossed and the roundtrip time (RTT) for each hop. Packet filtering policies on routers, firewalls, or other types of security gateways might prevent the forwarding of this traffic. . If tracert is unsuccessful, you can use the command output to help determine at which intermediate router forwarding failed or was slowed. . For details about packet forwarding and packet loss at each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. ============== Tracert Determines the path taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination with incrementally increasing Time to Live (TTL) field values. The path displayed is the list of near-side router interfaces of the routers in the path between a source host and a destination. The near-side interface is the interface of the router that is closest to the sending host in the path. Used without parameters, tracert displays help. Syntax tracert [-d] [-h MaximumHops] [-j HostList] [-w Timeout] [TargetName] Parameters -d : Prevents tracert from attempting to resolve the IP addresses of intermediate routers to their names. This can speed up the display of tracert results. -h MaximumHops : Specifies the maximum number of hops in the path to search for the target (destination). The default is 30 hops. -j HostList : Specifies that Echo Request messages use the Loose Source Route option in the IP header with the set of intermediate destinations specified in HostList. With loose source routing, successive intermediate destinations can be separated by one or multiple routers. The maximum number of addresses or names in the host list is 9. The HostList is a series of IP addresses (in dotted decimal notation) separated by spaces. -w Timeout : Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds to wait for the ICMP Time Exceeded or Echo Reply message corresponding to a given Echo Request message to be received. If not received within the time-out, an asterisk (*) is displayed. The default time-out is 4000 (4 seconds). TargetName : Specifies the destination, identified either by IP address or host name. -? : Displays help at the command prompt. Remarks . This diagnostic tool determines the path taken to a destination by sending ICMP Echo Request messages with varying Time to Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path is required to decrement the TTL in an IP packet by at least 1 before forwarding it. Effectively, the TTL is a maximum link counter. When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router is expected to return an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the source computer. Tracert determines the path by sending the first Echo Request message with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds or the maximum number of hops is reached. The maximum number of hops is 30 by default and can be specified using the -h parameter. The path is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages returned by intermediate routers and the Echo Reply message returned by the destination. However, some routers do not return Time Exceeded messages for packets with expired TTL values and are invisible to the tracert command. In this case, a row of asterisks (*) is displayed for that hop. . To trace a path and provide network latency and packet loss for each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. . This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections Examples To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com, type: tracert corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and prevent the resolution of each IP address to its name, type: tracert -d corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and use the loose source route 10.12.0.1-10.29.3.1-10.1.44.1, type: tracert -j 10.12.0.1 10.29.3.1 10.1.44.1 corp7.microsoft.com -- Hope this helps.

Open Command Prompt, and type the following: tracert host_name Or, type tracert ip_address where host_name or ip_address is the host name or IP address, respectively, of the remote computer. For example, to trace a connection route from this computer to www.microsoft.com, type the following at a command prompt: tracert www.microsoft.com If you do not want the tracert command to resolve and display the names of all routers in the path, use the -d parameter. This expedites the display of the path. For example, to trace a path from this computer to www.microsoft.com without displaying the router names, type the following at a command prompt: tracert -d www.microsoft.com Note . To open command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. . The tracert command traces the path by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request and Echo Reply messages (similar to the ping command) to produce command- line report output about each router that is crossed and the roundtrip time (RTT) for each hop. Packet filtering policies on routers, firewalls, or other types of security gateways might prevent the forwarding of this traffic. . If tracert is unsuccessful, you can use the command output to help determine at which intermediate router forwarding failed or was slowed. . For details about packet forwarding and packet loss at each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. ============== Tracert Determines the path taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination with incrementally increasing Time to Live (TTL) field values. The path displayed is the list of near-side router interfaces of the routers in the path between a source host and a destination. The near-side interface is the interface of the router that is closest to the sending host in the path. Used without parameters, tracert displays help. Syntax tracert [-d] [-h MaximumHops] [-j HostList] [-w Timeout] [TargetName] Parameters -d : Prevents tracert from attempting to resolve the IP addresses of intermediate routers to their names. This can speed up the display of tracert results. -h MaximumHops : Specifies the maximum number of hops in the path to search for the target (destination). The default is 30 hops. -j HostList : Specifies that Echo Request messages use the Loose Source Route option in the IP header with the set of intermediate destinations specified in HostList. With loose source routing, successive intermediate destinations can be separated by one or multiple routers. The maximum number of addresses or names in the host list is 9. The HostList is a series of IP addresses (in dotted decimal notation) separated by spaces. -w Timeout : Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds to wait for the ICMP Time Exceeded or Echo Reply message corresponding to a given Echo Request message to be received. If not received within the time-out, an asterisk (*) is displayed. The default time-out is 4000 (4 seconds). TargetName : Specifies the destination, identified either by IP address or host name. -? : Displays help at the command prompt. Remarks . This diagnostic tool determines the path taken to a destination by sending ICMP Echo Request messages with varying Time to Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path is required to decrement the TTL in an IP packet by at least 1 before forwarding it. Effectively, the TTL is a maximum link counter. When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router is expected to return an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the source computer. Tracert determines the path by sending the first Echo Request message with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds or the maximum number of hops is reached. The maximum number of hops is 30 by default and can be specified using the -h parameter. The path is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages returned by intermediate routers and the Echo Reply message returned by the destination. However, some routers do not return Time Exceeded messages for packets with expired TTL values and are invisible to the tracert command. In this case, a row of asterisks (*) is displayed for that hop. . To trace a path and provide network latency and packet loss for each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. . This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections Examples To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com, type: tracert corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and prevent the resolution of each IP address to its name, type: tracert -d corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and use the loose source route 10.12.0.1-10.29.3.1-10.1.44.1, type: tracert -j 10.12.0.1 10.29.3.1 10.1.44.1 corp7.microsoft.com -- Hope this helps.

For example, to trace a path from this computer to www.microsoft.com without displaying the router names, type the following at a command prompt: tracert -d www.microsoft.com Note . To open command prompt, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. . The tracert command traces the path by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request and Echo Reply messages (similar to the ping command) to produce command- line report output about each router that is crossed and the roundtrip time (RTT) for each hop. Packet filtering policies on routers, firewalls, or other types of security gateways might prevent the forwarding of this traffic. . If tracert is unsuccessful, you can use the command output to help determine at which intermediate router forwarding failed or was slowed. . For details about packet forwarding and packet loss at each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. ============== Tracert Determines the path taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination with incrementally increasing Time to Live (TTL) field values. The path displayed is the list of near-side router interfaces of the routers in the path between a source host and a destination. The near-side interface is the interface of the router that is closest to the sending host in the path. Used without parameters, tracert displays help. Syntax tracert [-d] [-h MaximumHops] [-j HostList] [-w Timeout] [TargetName] Parameters -d : Prevents tracert from attempting to resolve the IP addresses of intermediate routers to their names. This can speed up the display of tracert results. -h MaximumHops : Specifies the maximum number of hops in the path to search for the target (destination). The default is 30 hops. -j HostList : Specifies that Echo Request messages use the Loose Source Route option in the IP header with the set of intermediate destinations specified in HostList. With loose source routing, successive intermediate destinations can be separated by one or multiple routers. The maximum number of addresses or names in the host list is 9. The HostList is a series of IP addresses (in dotted decimal notation) separated by spaces. -w Timeout : Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds to wait for the ICMP Time Exceeded or Echo Reply message corresponding to a given Echo Request message to be received. If not received within the time-out, an asterisk (*) is displayed. The default time-out is 4000 (4 seconds). TargetName : Specifies the destination, identified either by IP address or host name. -? : Displays help at the command prompt. Remarks . This diagnostic tool determines the path taken to a destination by sending ICMP Echo Request messages with varying Time to Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path is required to decrement the TTL in an IP packet by at least 1 before forwarding it. Effectively, the TTL is a maximum link counter. When the TTL on a packet reaches 0, the router is expected to return an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the source computer. Tracert determines the path by sending the first Echo Request message with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent transmission until the target responds or the maximum number of hops is reached. The maximum number of hops is 30 by default and can be specified using the -h parameter. The path is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages returned by intermediate routers and the Echo Reply message returned by the destination. However, some routers do not return Time Exceeded messages for packets with expired TTL values and are invisible to the tracert command. In this case, a row of asterisks (*) is displayed for that hop. . To trace a path and provide network latency and packet loss for each router and link in the path, use the pathping command. . This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections Examples To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com, type: tracert corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and prevent the resolution of each IP address to its name, type: tracert -d corp7.microsoft.com To trace the path to the host named corp7.microsoft.com and use the loose source route 10.12.0.1-10.29.3.1-10.1.44.1, type: tracert -j 10.12.0.1 10.29.3.1 10.1.44.1 corp7.microsoft.com -- Hope this helps.

HOW TO: Diagnose and Test TCP/IP or NetBIOS Network Connections in Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;323388 To Display Connection Information by Using the Nbtstat.exe Tool [[NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses. TCP/IP provides many options for NetBIOS name resolution, including local cache lookup, WINS server query, broadcast, DNS server query, and LMHOSTS and HOSTS lookup. Nbtstat.exe is a useful tool for troubleshooting NetBIOS name resolution problems. You can use the NBTSTAT command to remove or correct preloaded entries. To use the NBTSTAT command: To list the NetBIOS table of the local computer, type nbtstat -n at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. This command returns the NetBIOS local name table. It indicates whether each name is a unique name or a group name and whether the name is registered or unregistered on the network. To list the contents of the NetBIOS name cache, type nbtstat -c at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. This command shows the NetBIOS name cache, which contains name-to-address mappings for other computers. To clear the contents of the name cache and reload it from the LMHOSTS file, type nbtstat -R at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. NOTE: Make sure that you use an uppercase "R". To display the name table of a remote computer, type nbtstat -a RemoteComputerName at the command prompt, and then press ENTER, where RemoteComputerName is the NetBIOS computer name of the remote computer. The adapter status command returns the local NetBIOS name table for that computer and the MAC address of the network adapter. To display a list of client and server connections, type nbtstat -s at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. This command lists the current NetBIOS sessions and their status, including statistics, as shown in the following example.
