Troubleshoot
Network Tools
Use these steps:
Step 1 Click the Troubleshoot toolbar button.
Step 2 Click the Network Tools link.
Three test tools are available from this page.
• NSLookup - converts a domain name to its IP address and vice versa.
• Ping - tests the “reachability” of a particular network destination by
sending an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply.
• TraceRoute - displays the path to a destination by showing the num-
ber of hops and the router addresses of these hops.
Step 3 To use the Ping capability, type a destination address (domain name or IP
address) in the text box and click the
Ping button.
Example: Ping to grosso.com.
Result: The host was reachable with four out of five packets sent.
Step 4 To use the TraceRoute capability, type a destination address (domain name
or IP address) in the text box and click the
TraceRoute button.
