Does anyone know what the command syntax for trace route is on unix? I've only ever done it on a PC and I know its tracert there. I'm using AIX BTW.

Have you tried man traceroute or traceroute --help?

>> Hang on - entering traceroute without parameters returns a help message

Bodo, thanks. I will try that now. The problem was I didn't know the command name was traceroute. I tried tracert, trace and nettrace.

OK, for quick results, just enter traceroute {adress}, thats how it works on Irix and Linux, so I think it's common for all Unixes
