Running a trace route allows the support team to better understand the network path taken to reach a particular server. This can help identify routing problems or firewalls that may be blocking access to a certain server.

Repeat the process atleast three times

Press the up arrow key and press the enter key again. This will allow you to run the same command again without having to type it in again. Run this command atleast three times in total; four or five would be ideal.
Copy all the results

- B) Once everything is highlighted simply press the enter key to copy the results to the Windows clipboard to be pasted later
Give the results the the support representatives

There are three ways of giving the data to the support representatives. While talking with the support representatives in our "Live Chat" you can simply paste the data into the chat so they can review and it decide where to go from there. Secondly, you can create a new trouble ticket with the data inside of the trouble ticket. Lastly, you can send it to us at support AT light-speed DOT com.
