This software combines the functionality of the trace route and ping in a single network diagnostic tool. It works on 32 and 64 bit versions both flawlessly. This software can be used without having the hassle of creating more entries in the Windows registry. Therefore, the risks for breaking something on the kernel stage is often close to null.
