If you have been instructed by Support to conduct this test, we will tell you what hostname to test for.If you are having trouble accessing Intermedia's web site, the traceroute should be to the web site's URL address.If you are a Hosted Exchange email customer, you can use the hostname for the server specified in your email account settings for the email program you are using.Note: the hostname should be replaced with whatever site is not working for you. Send us the complete results (every line) for analysis.Hostname is the name of the server connection you are testing. See the section Determining hostname below for help with the hostname. You can then open this file and paste the contents into your email message to Support. This writes the command results to a text file named trace1.txt in the root of your C:\ drive. If you have difficulty copying the traceroute information, or if it runs off the screen, you can type this command instead: You can now paste it into a document and send to Support. Select tracert results using your mouse cursor and right-click on it to copy into clipboard.

It will generate a list of the connections along the way and some information about the speed of the steps along the way.

To install it: sudo apt-get install mtr-tiny Mtr-tiny is compiled without support for X and conserves disk space. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. Mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.Īs mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. As an alternative to traceroute, you might use mtr, it's like traceroute on steroids.
