How do I do this tracer thingy?

[old.Hendrick]

I too am suffering from this connection problem mentioned further down, so I'd like to do one of these weird "tracers" as this apparently helps the GOA techies somehow. So, big question, how does that work? Where can I find a download for such a program and what do I do once I got it? Help me, I don't know computers

Just go to dos promt and do tracert <ip>

 

[old.Hendrick]

In case I did not make myself clear: ME NOT KNOW COMPOUTERS!

Dos prompt? Eh? I can find my way from switching on the PC to running DAoC, that's all, you know...

 

[Eleasias]

start -> run -> Dosprmpt

then

tracert <ip or dns>

 

[old.Hendrick]

Yes, I am dull.

<ip or dns>

??????

So up comes this DOS thingy, then I type tracert, then the "Syntax" comes up and obviously a more learned person should now know what to type next. I don't.

tracert 193.252.123.33

traces your route to excalibur server or

tracert www.camelot-europe.com

Yes, well, might have been an idea to insert the numbers without [ ] and < > ....

if you do the following
tracert 193.252.123.13 >c:\tracert.txt

this will copy the trace route to tracert.txt in the root of your c drive, so that you can forward the info to GOA easily

use a program like neotrace if you like a nice interface

neotrace express is free, and it comes with a cool map which shows the route your packets are taveling
