Pathping

The Pathping command line utility in Windows 2000 gives you the best of ping and tracert, by sending out packets to each router on the way to a final destination over a period of time, and then computes the results based on the packets returned from each hop. Since Pathping shows the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can use it to determine which routers or links are causing network problems.

Type 'pathping /?' at the command prompt, to get additional information on syntax and options.
