I was fooling around(in a non-destructive way)with the kde net' utilities and the last tab is called"mtr".I tried a whereis mtr as root but could find nothing.When I clicked on the tab a box came up saying to type the path in edit>preferences.What is this "mtr"?Some kind of network monitor or somthing?TIA

This is what I found when I looked it up ;)

mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool. As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.

Thanks,Q25.I'm not connected to a network('cept the Big One)so its probably not installed.Where did you get your info?Thanks again.
