How Do I Run a Traceroute on a Mac

Traceroute is a utility that records the route between your computer and your Oryon server. It also displays the amount of time each hop takes. If you cannot reach your site, a traceroute will help us determine the issue.

To run traceroute on a Mac, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open up the Terminal application from under /Applications/Utilities/.
Step 2: In the new terminal window, type the following command: “traceroute -n yourdomain.com”. (remember to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name).
Step 3: Make sure to let the traceroute finish completely; it can sometimes take several minutes.
Step 4: You should see something similar to the following when it finishes:

bash-3.2$ traceroute -n yourdomain.com
traceroute to yourdomain.com (74.53.50.50), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

Step 6: You can copy and paste the output into an email and send it to sg@oryon.net so that we can check the issue in detail.
