<div align="justify"><p>You can troubleshoot your Internet connection with the Trace Route option. To use Trace Route, type 'tracert' followed by the Web address or IP, in the command line. Trace route traces every hop or router on the Internet, that a packet takes to reach its destination, giving the path and the amount of time taken between each hop. On a LAN, this can be used to diagnose problems in routing. Use it on the Internet to choose the nearest and fastest download sites. Fewer hops usually make for a better connection. </p><p><img src="http://www.hashdot.com/trace_route.jpg" width="510" height="317" border="0" alt="" /> </p></div>
