After collecting and analyzing of sent to us users' opinions about this program it takes our editors award with a rate "5". This means that this program is popular and was found as convenient and useful.
If you cannot connect to a computer over a network, there might be something wrong with the remote PC or with your Internet connection. Or your router might need a reset. Or your Internet provider could be having a temporarily problem that they'll eventually solve. Or maybe it's the fault of one of the routers, switches, access points, servers, or other network hosts that are in between you and the remote computer. How would you know for sure?
In the beginning of the Internet, a tool called traceroute was introduced in Unix. Traceroute does exactly what its name suggests: it traces the route of IP packets while they travel from your PC to the remote destination. The tool essentially allows you to see exactly where the connectivity problem is, no matter how far it is from your computer. The last host to respond to traceroute is the last host that is working properly. The first one that fails to respond is the faulty one.
There is a free tool called tracert.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to traceroute the remote PC. To use tracert.exe, you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type tracert.exe followed with the IP address of the computer you want to check. Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You get the response in a Spartan-looking black console window.
While there's nothing particularly wrong in using the supplied tracert.exe, we at Soft Institute wrapped the same thing into a much more convenient package. SI Trace provides clearly legible, well-formatted output by providing easy to understand numbers and well-explained results. It displays all the vital information from classic Unix traceroute and Windows tracert commands, and allows you to check more than one computer by simply selecting the address from a combo box. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it is much more convenient to use than Windows tracert.

The program does exactly as it’s advised, IE traces I.P. address, unfortunately, apart from the company site I got a timeout on every site I looked (changing the time setting to 10,000 still resulted in a time out). This program wasn’t quite what I was looking for. The one I wanted I found on a magazine cover disk, about 10 years ago. The program in question displayed a world map and displayed the route of the Internet connection from my computer to the address I entered. So I un-installed the program

Version: 1.0Hi,
I downloaded SI Trace, it downloaded fine, it installed fine, but I couldn't figure out how to use it. Granted, I only tried for about 5 minutes, but I was unable to trace my IP address to the IP address of our domain controller, which is about 300 feet away.
I will try again. I must have been doing something wrong.
Thanks,

Version: 1.0I am taking a networking class and for homework I was supposed to download an SI Trace program and run it. I still don't think I understood what it was I was supposed to be doing but I guess I will leave it loaded in case I need it again.. Thankyou.

Version: 1.0I have find it for long time on the net. Now I found it, thank you!

Version: 1.0Hello,
I was searching for a Visual Tracert utility, thinking of a tool to display the route of the packages on the map of the globe.
Well, it seems that SI Trace has another type of interface, which doesn't diminsh its utility, but it is not what I am searching for.
Good work!
Thank you,
Bradut

Well, it's good looking, could be yet more specific, even though it's the most specific ip tracer I found so I am satisfied and goodluck updating it with whatever you guys are going to. Bye.

Very basic but did the job. Although it is freeware, for more people to use it and find it useful, I feel that one or more features need to be included. That way others may well recommend your product.
