Tracing the Network Route

Trace Route lets you find out the route over the network between two hosts or systems.

  1. Choose Maintenance > Network Diagnostics > Trace Route. The "Trace Route to Host" dialog appears.
  2. Type the IP address or name of the host whose route you want to check in the Host Name field.
  3. In the Timeout (s) field, type a timeout value in seconds to end the trace route operation. Note that if the timeout value is too small, the trace route results may be incomplete.
  4. To use the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets to perform the trace route command, select the Use ICMP Packets checkbox.
  5. Click Run. A dialog appears, displaying the Trace Route results.
