RE: Traceroute vs tracert

Also, note that windows tracert uses a 92 byte packet which some ISP's
are filtering.  I know that Global Crossing does.  Can't tell ya how
many times have had customers call up complaining that they their traces
are dying only to have them trace from a router or a *nix box and it
work fine.

Windows tracert only uses ICMP echo requests, whereas traceroute can 
either use UDP datagrams (by default) or ICMP echo requests 
(controlled by the -I option).  Other than that, the two programs 
work similarly by incrementing the TTL field in order to elicit an 
ICMP "time exceeded" response from each host along the route.

[OT] Residential Data/Voice/Video Wiring

Hi folks,

  I'm in the process of building a house.  So far, looking in the yellow
pages and other places I've been unable to find a company/contractor
that does voice/data/video cabling for residential stuff.  I'm trying to
find someone who is familiar with using satellite distribution as well.
That's been the real stumper.  I'm not looking for anything really fancy
like a whole house automation system or being able to route video
electronically and such.  I'm basically just want a distribution point
for cable TV, Satellite TV, Cable Modem Access, Ethernet, and plain old
telephone.  I want to be able to have access to all this in each room
and with some sort of patch panel in the basement.  I could do all this
myself but I'm not real familiar with the satellite splitter and how
that would all work with patching cable or Antenna HDTV signals.  I
figured maybe of some you folks would have some recommendations or
advice.  

Thanks,
Chip Gwyn
