Traceroutes can be extremely beneficial when attempting to debug/diagnose possible network related issues. Unfortunately, performing a traceroute differs by Operating System. Look for your specific Operating System for instructions below.

1. Click the Start Menu (button)
2. Inside the Search tool (Search programs and files) type 'cmd'.
