All,

        I was looking for some Windows TCP registry settings, and stumbled
upon this tool in technet:

C:\>pathping /?

Usage: pathping [-n] [-h maximum_hops] [-g host-list] [-p period]
                [-q num_queries] [-w timeout] [-t] [-R] [-r] target_name

Options:
    -n Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.
    -h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target.
    -g host-list Loose source route along host-list.
    -p period Wait period milliseconds between pings.
    -q num_queries Number of queries per hop.
    -w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply.
    -T Test connectivity to each hop with Layer-2 priority
tags.

    -R Test if each hop is RSVP aware.

I think it's only in W2K, but it's pretty neat. It's output looks like
this:

C:\>pathping ustahr2

Tracing route to ustahr2.usta.com [192.168.253.149]
