You should be able to run tracert from a Cygwin (or rxvt) window without doing anything special.

I foresee problems when "traceroute" appears to exist yet does not act like Unix traceroute. Most especially if a script tries to use it. Heaven forefend that some auto-configure script out there looks for traceroute for some reason.

Alas, the icmp headers seem to be missing as well as ip_var.h/tcp_var.h/udp_var.h. Too bad I don't know enough about lowlevel windows tcp/ip, otherwise I'd jump on trying to fix the holes in the current tcp/ip stack. I think, many times, people get caught up in the argument that well windows already has so-and-so tool. Well that's nice, but sometimes the windows version of the tool sucks. In this case I'm inclined to say windows traceroute is barely acceptable. I much prefer the version that comes with bsd/*nix (ee.lbl.gov). Here's how they compare: Windows ------- Usage: tracert [-d] [-h maximum_hops] [-j host-list] [-w timeout] target_name Options: -d Do not resolve addresses to hostnames. -h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target. -j host-list Loose source route along host-list. -w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply. *nix ----- traceroute [ -dFInrvx ] [ -f first_ttl ] [ -g gateway ] [ -i iface ] [ -m max_ttl ] [ -p port ] [ -q nqueries ] [ -s src_addr ] [ -t tos ] [ -w waittime ] [ -z pausemsecs ] host [ packetlen ] Obviously the *nix version provides for a finer granularity of control whereas the windows version is rather spartan. Oh well, since I can't submit a patch I guess I should shutup now... Cheers, Nicholas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
