To test the TCP/IP configuration of your own Computer, you use local

loopback. Local loopback is the IP address 127.0.0.1. To test system

conf iguration by using local loopback, type ping 127.0.0.1

^pathping. Combines the features of ping and tracertalong with additional

features that neither of those tools provides. pathpingsends packets to each

router on the way to a finał destination over a period of time, then computes

results based on the packets return from each hop. Because pathpingshows

the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can pinpoint which

router or link might be causing network problems.

j^tracert. Traces the route that a packet takes to a destination.

The tracert

command displays a list of IP routers that are used to deliver packets from

your Computer to the destination, and the amount of time that the packet

remained at each hop or the destination between two routers. If the packets

cannot be delivered to the destination, you can use the tracertcommand to

identify the last router that successfully forwarded the packets.
