RE: [Az-Geocaching] GC.com

It is better in WinXP to run CMD instead of Command. Command is the 16
bit version from Windows 9x and CMD is a 32bit command prompt.

Go to Start -> Run, type "command" in the box. Click on OK. Not DOS but
works very similar.

Thanks Bill,
I don't think I have a DOS prompt with Win XP but will look around some
more.

What can be interesting is to see the route a message you send takes.
This can be done from a DOS prompt.  It does not work against all
servers as some have pinging blocked.  Say you want to see how you
connected to yahoo you would type    "tracert www.yahoo.com" from the
DOS prompt.  Do not include the "".  This will return a list of every
server your message went through on its way to yahoo.  It will also tell
you how long it took to get there.  I cannot test yahoo here from work
as our firewall blocks pinging.  tracert stands for trace route.

Brian,

What an interesting web site. I have book marked it and will check it
from time to time. Not that I know just what all I am looking at.

Do you have a suggestion for a sniffer like you mentioned that will look
at the route I am taking when I hook up to someone. Just interested, a
little. And where does one look up, if possible, the DNS tables??

Thank, Bob Smith, Petite Elite

guessing the people in Alaska are pretty pissed right about now.


DNS: Domain Name System. Ever wonder what's behind yahoo.com? For
every single web address on the internet, there is a numerical IP
address associated with it. The primary IP address for yahoo.com is
66.218.71.198. Would you rather remember yahoo.com or that numerical
address? :) DNS tables do the job of matching those numbers to their
corresponding domain name (yahoo.com). If a DNS tables becomes
'poisoned', it pretty much means that some corrupt data was inserted
into the file and completely scrambled the data, rendering it useless.
