Internet Tools

Firstly: the email we had to respond to came yesterday, I had to search back where I read about it, found it and replied to Cynthia.

Secondly: the date and time on this site are out by almost a day.....I hope this doesn't cause problems......on second thought I'll date and time my input from now on.

Now the first task in Internet Tools

I did a lot of procrastinating before I decided to complete this one after my bad experiences with downloading programs, but took a deep breath and plunged in.

To my complete surprise and utter pleasure I didn't have to download a program, just use it as per instructions. It was fantastic.

To answer the first question: How many hops did it take from the Central Ops tool site to the curtin.edu.au. 20

What is the average time in milliseconds from tools site to curtin.edu.au. 249

Now this is the most calm I have felt since starting the course. I will endevour to continue on calmly.

The IP number for curtin.edu.au is 134.7.179.53.

For the Further Exploration section I decided to continue on and download the freeware at Tucows but the link said that page could not be found. I did an internal search of tucows, tried traceroute and came up with businesses that had nothing to do with what I was after. Tried a ping search and had a choice of two golf club businesses..

I remember reading someone else (Ruby) saying the link was broken so I re-read Cynthia's response and have decided I will leave it at that unless someone else mentions the problem and take it from there.
