Help With Tracert

Could some network expert look at these trace routes. These are good addresses as you will see that the trace completed a second time. I think this is proof of my ISP's DNS server failures. Am I right?

I do not like the way the first hop looks. I understand that DSL modem/routers will act this way. In any event, I don't think that first hop could be the cause of a failure to make an internet connection.

I really need your help here before contacting my ISP with this.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry, but can not get to you graphics. I get "Sorry, the page you requested was not found " :(

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname>tracert yahoo.com

Tracing route to yahoo.com [66.94.234.13]<--This is gotten from the DNS server. So next time you get stopped, you can use that ip number to get to Yahoo.

over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 * 356 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1

The same thing happens to ping also.

Now if both fail, check things out. Your isp could even be down.

Hope this helps.

I don't know what happened to graphics. Try again.

Please all I want to know is if these first attempts - the ones beginning in "unable to resolve system name" indicate a DNS server error. That's all I want to know.

Thanks.

"unable to resolve system name"

Dns sever down or could not get through to the server.

You get that if your modem is turned off or the DNS server goofs or isshutdown.
