Go to Start -> Run, type  "command" in the box. Click on OK. Not DOS but
works very similar.

  Thanks Bill,
  I don't think I have a DOS prompt with Win XP but will look around some
more.

This can be done from a DOS prompt.  It does not work against all servers as
some have pinging blocked.  Say you want to see how you connected to yahoo
you would type    "tracert www.yahoo.com" from the DOS prompt.  Do not
include the "".  This will return a list of every server your message went
through on its way to yahoo.  It will also tell you how long it took to get
there.  I cannot test yahoo here from work as our firewall blocks pinging.
tracert stands for trace route.

      Brian,

      What an interesting web site.  I have book marked it and will check it
from time to time.  Not that I know just what all I am looking at.

      Do you have a suggestion for a sniffer like you mentioned that will
look at the route I am taking when I hook up to someone.  Just interested, a
little.  And where does one look up, if possible, the DNS tables??

      Thank, Bob Smith, Petite Elite

Alaska are pretty pissed right about now.

        DNS:  Domain Name System.  Ever wonder what's behind yahoo.com?  For
every single web address on the internet, there is a numerical IP address
associated with it.  The primary IP address for yahoo.com is 66.218.71.198.
Would you rather remember yahoo.com or that numerical address?  :)  DNS
tables do the job of matching those numbers to their corresponding domain
name (yahoo.com).  If a DNS tables becomes 'poisoned', it pretty much means
that some corrupt data was inserted into the file and completely scrambled
the data, rendering it useless.
