Start, Run, type command, ok. On next screen type tracert netscape.com (or whatever site you choose). Use a space between tracert and site.

If you have a dialup connection and want to decrease your pings, there is a great little program called SmartPlay. Unlike some performance boosting software, it really works. You only have to run it once. You can find it at http://www.tweakfiles.com/networking/ .
