How do i do a trace route to a certain port?

^^ it is a nice trick and i am going to have to remeber it

The -p25 option tells it to use port 25 as a destination port and the -T tells it to use TCP packets instead of ICMP.

traceroute mail.yourserver.com -p25 -T

It hurts to see these crappy replies! "Traceroute is ICMP how can you include a port!"

Well, think outside the box fellas. There is always a tool for that.

Tracepath is what you need.

Syntax: tracepath 192.168.1.99/443

Will send a packet destined for port 443 to 192.168.1.99 and will report back to you at which hop the packet got stuck.

Any options for Windows?... I need to test the connection from a client's windows box.

Thanks in advance!

Doesn't seem that way.


Unless you meant something else
