Using Tracert to Find Out Hop IP Addresses

To find out the IP adresses of hops between the machine running IPCheck and a server you want to monitor run the “tracert (yourservername)” command on the machine running IPCheck:

C:\ >tracert www.paessler.com

Trace route to www.paessler.com [72.3.142.92]  with max. 30 hops:

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  10.0.0.1

  2     2 ms     1 ms     1 ms  hp7.paessler.com [81.17.107.145]

  3     7 ms     8 ms     8 ms  82.149.64.153

  4     9 ms     8 ms     8 ms  212.123.97.101

  5     9 ms     8 ms     8 ms  [134.222.107.21]

  6    12 ms    11 ms    12 ms  [134.222.228.69]

  7    13 ms    12 ms    20 ms  [134.222.227.134]

  8    12 ms    11 ms    11 ms  [80.81.192.125]

Choose one of the hops to monitor. Often it is a good idea to talk to your provider which IP address is a good choice.
