traceroute task & pings


used traceroute tool from http://network-tools.com/ to find route to lms.curtin.edu.au

tried to paste to this screen but columns all bunched up and ugly! 19 hops in 282 milliseconds!
TraceRoute to 134.7.180.137 [lms.curtin.edu.au] the curtin IP is listed.
This task shows what an amazing job routers do to get us connected and communicating around the world - or just down the street.
Pings: using network-tools

I downloaded A-toolbar and did traceroute to lms.curtin.edu.au - did it in 11 hops but 1048596 milliseconds! the last hop took ages - maybe firewall or something?
ping via A-toolbar: in 4 out of 5 pings 1048596ms one was 168ms. Tried pinging this blogger site and that turned out to be large - 1048596ms as well sometimes. Wonder if it could be my wireless internet causing the delay?
