Oh ! My tracert command takes a lot of time to get execured :-O

Some times when when we execute the tracert command from windows command prompt, the session looks like got hung and it takes lots of time before it starts displaying tracert command output.

The reason being is when we execute tracert command it tries to resolve all ip addresses to their domain names.

Below is the handy command to stop this resolution happening and to provide output quickly.

tracert -d IP-Addrss

e.g. - tracert -d google.com

now see yourself diff between output of tracert google.com & tracert -d google.com :-)
