Item	Description

Ping or Trace an IP	Ping – Used to send a ping packet request to a specified IP address—most often,
address	to test a connection. If the request times out (no reply is received), it usually means
	that the destination is unreachable. However, some network devices can be
	configured not to respond to a ping. The ping results will be displayed in a new
	screen; click “Back” on the Windows menu bar to return to the Diagnostics screen.

	Traceroute (often called Trace Route) – Lists all Routers between the source (this
	device) and the destination IP address. The Trace Route results will be displayed
	in a new screen; click “Back” on the Windows menu bar to return to the Diagnostics
	screen.

Perform a DNS Lookup	A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (e.g. www.netgear.com)
	to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a Web, FTP, Mail or other Server on
	the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.

Display the Routing	This operation will display the internal routing table. This information is used, most
Table	often, by Technical Support.
