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?

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

-? : 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

-----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.

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

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

-----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.

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.

===========

To Test Connections by Using the NET VIEW Command
[[Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then press ENTER.

At the command prompt, type net view \\ComputerName, and then press ENTER,
where ComputerName is the name of the computer that you want to connect to.

A list of the file and print shares on that computer is generated by
establishing a temporary NetBIOS connection.

If there are no file or print shares available on the specified computer,
you receive a "There are no entries in the list" message.

If the NET VIEW \\ComputerName command does not work and you receive a
"System error has occurred" error message, follow these steps:
Verify that you typed the correct name of the remote computer.
Verify that the computer is operational.
Verify that the computer is running the File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks service.

Use the PING command to verify that all the gateways (routers) between the
local computer and the remote host are operational.

If the NET VIEW \\ComputerName command does not work, type net view
\\IPAddressOfRemoteComputer, and then press ENTER.

If the NET VIEW \\IPAddressOfRemoteComputer command works, but the NET VIEW
\\ComputerName command does not work, the computer name may be resolving to
the wrong address.

name is not, you might have a name resolution problem. In
this case, ensure
that the computer name you are specifying can be resolved
through the local
Hosts file, by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries, or
through NetBIOS
name resolution techniques.]]

To ping the destination ###.###.###.### and resolve
###.###.###.### to its
host name.

The -a switch...
[[Specifies that reverse name resolution is performed on
the destination IP

corresponding host name.]]

Try pinging the address you keep refering to:

[[I Can Ping a Resource by Its IP Address, but I
Cannot "Ping" It by Name
If you can contact a resource by using its IP address but
a PING message to
its host name does not work, the problem may be caused by
a name resolution
failure, instead of by network connectivity. Make sure
that the computer is
configured with the correct DNS or WINS entries, and that
the DNS or WINS
servers are available.]]

To Test Connections by Using the NET VIEW Command
[[Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and
then press ENTER.

At the command prompt, type net view \\ComputerName, and
then press ENTER,
where ComputerName is the name of the computer that you
want to connect to.

A list of the file and print shares on that computer is
generated by
establishing a temporary NetBIOS connection.

If there are no file or print shares available on the
specified computer,
you receive a "There are no entries in the list" message.

If the NET VIEW \\ComputerName command does not work and
you receive a
"System error has occurred" error message, follow these
steps:
Verify that you typed the correct name of the remote
computer.
Verify that the computer is operational.
Verify that the computer is running the File and Printer
Sharing for
Microsoft Networks service.

Use the PING command to verify that all the gateways
(routers) between the
local computer and the remote host are operational.

If the NET VIEW \\ComputerName command does not work,
type net view
\\IPAddressOfRemoteComputer, and then press ENTER.

If the NET VIEW \\IPAddressOfRemoteComputer command
works, but the NET VIEW
\\ComputerName command does not work, the computer name
may be resolving to
the wrong address.
NOTE: To see additional options of the Net View tool,
type net view /? at
the command prompt.

In ,
Lois hunted and
pecked:
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???
