How do I go about pinging the hops to a website?

Do you mean a trace route?

-Dan

If you are on a windows machine, the command is:
tracert domain

If you are on a *nix machine the command is:
traceroute (or /usr/sbin/traceroute) domain

If you are a real admin on a *nix box, then you have it aliased to:
tr domain


If you are on a cisco router:
gw1#>traceroute domain

Thanks for your help guys, but could you be a little more specific? Lets say I wanted to trace the route for yahoo, what is the exact command that I need to type in my command prompt? Thanks.

Not sure how much more specific you are looking for, but since you said the words command line, I assume you are on a Windows machine, which is the first example I gave you:

tracert www.yahoo.com

Thanks Uuallan, Got it!

If you really wanted to "ping" the hops, you can use ping -R (although not in the default ping command with windows). :)
