Tracing IP Address

Traceroute

Traceroute, also called tracepath or tracert, is a network tool used to determine the "path" packets take from one IP address to another. It provides the hostname, IP address, and the response time to a ping.

Enter the IP address that you want to lookup. This will provide a traceroute with geographic location information (city, state, country if available). For US based IP addresses 85% of the location information should be within 25 miles.

Example:
tracert yahoo.com
to trace yahoo.com, you can also type
tracert 127.0.0.1
if you want to traceroute an IP address
