Trace Route
The Trace Route tool traces a packet from the Pocket PC to an Internet
host, showing each hop and how long it takes to reach the destination. This
allows the user to figure out where the longest delays are occurring if
performance appears slow.
1. In the main screen of Wi-Fi Companion, tap Tools | Utilities | Trace Route.
2. The Trace Route screen will appear. Tap Tools | Configure.
3. In the Configure Trace Route screen, enter the appropriate settings:
• Address: Enter a target address in the form of an IP address or a
URL that can be resolved by a Domain Name System (DNS). For
convenience, the last address used is the default, and the drop-down
list shows prior addresses used.
• Max hops: Select the maximum number of hops (default is 20).
• Resolve IP: Indicate whether you want to resolve the IP address from
a URL (default is Yes).
• Tap ok.
4. In the main Trace Route screen, tap Start.
