Task 1: TraceRoute

I've done one of these before. I love playing WoW, but recently our switch to portable internet on what I believe is known as a USB Dongle has holted my gaming. We have discovered what the problem is (it's with the ISP), but to get to the conclusion we were asked to do a Traceroute by the gentlemen at Blizzard. Due to my little, but reasonable experience, I found this exercise quite simple. I used network-tools.com and this was a screen dump of my results:As I hope you can see (maybe just) that there are 21 hops (I think the timed out ones count). The average time from the network-tools site to Curtin is 13.9 ms. I think you can also see in this screen dump the Curtin IP address which 134.7.179.53.
