Performing a Traceroute in Microsoft Windows

If you are running Windows®, you can perform a traceroute using Command Prompt.

To Perform a Traceroute in Microsoft Windows

1. From the Start menu, select Run.

   NOTE: Windows® 8 users need to right-click the Start menu.

2. Type cmd, and then click OK.

3. Here you will find either MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt. A window will display with something similar to the following:
   Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
   (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
   
   C:\windows>
   In this screen, type tracert INSERTDOMAIN.COM (replace INSERTDOMAIN.COM with your domain name) and press Enter.
4. After the trace route has completed, right-click anywhere on this window and click Select All.
5. Press Enter and the information will be copied to the Windows clipboard.
6. Paste this into a text document (Notepad, WordPad, etc.).
