It's similar, but shows every step of the route, so you can see where the packets are getting lost. Like this:

Quote:

$ traceroute www.neowin.net
traceroute: Warning: www.neowin.net has multiple addresses; using 5.10.17.165

The 15th hop shows it reaching neowin's network. The subsequent hops within their network do fail for me, but they might be blocking traceroute.

The command is sometimes called tracert instead.

Tracert It uses ping underneath but gives much more data:

Looks like it's down at the moment.

Re: Issues accessing a website on VM connection

Loading fine here still, chances are their routers are configured to not respond to pings.

Routing looks a bit weird.

Agreed. Site still loads OK.

Access seems back to its normal speed now, but this traceroute doesn't look good?

Re: Issues accessing a website on VM connection

It's fine. It's normal for some intermediate routers to not respond. But you are consistently getting to neowin and back in 20ms, which is good.

We'll probably never know where the problem was

Re: Issues accessing a website on VM connection

my trace route is pretty much the same as yours so I wouldn't worry
