Click Start. Click Run. From here a box will open. Type in the box "cmd" without quotes. Now the command prompt will open. Here you can type various commands to do different things. Now that the command prompt is open, type in "tracert www.example.com" without quotes and replace www.example.com with the site/server you want to trace to.
