| 137338 | 2003-04-20 18:49:00 | Hi this message came from a Email frind in USA "Hey, part of our backbone is down over here. I have tried TRACERT and PING to try to determine where the failure is. No luck. I looked into PATHPING which I think tells where a backbone failure is occurring, but I don't have PATHPING in Windows 95. I think it is available in Windows 2000. I'm still using Windows 95...don't laugh. Do you know of any cool programs or tricks to use to determine where the backbone is failing? Or do you know of any websites where they show the status of the worldwide backbone?" |

| 137339 | 2003-04-20 19:19:00 | Hi Eric I would say the backbone in this case is their internal inter-office connections (possibly not using VPNs but direct leased links). Say, in NZ parlance, a company might have a backbone from their Auckland office to Wellington, and another from Wellington to Christchurch. The link to the outside world might be in Auckland, and someone in Christchurch might be having problems. The cure in this case is always elimination. If there are devices they can see in a given location then the link is okay to there. It helps if they already know how the links are configured. robo. |
