   • All other versions of Windows — From the Start menu, select Programs, then Accessories.
2. Here you will find either MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.
3. A window will display with something similar to the following:
   Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
   (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
   
   C:\windows>
4. In this screen type: "tracert INSERTDOMAIN.COM" (without quotations, and replace insertdomain.com with your domain name) and press Enter.
   Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
   (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
   
   C:\windows>tracert domain.com
5. After the trace route has completed, right click anywhere on this window and click Select All.
6. Press Enter and the information will be copied to the Windows clipboard.
