Developer’s Description

By xFX JumpStart
Solve a severe problem with Windows NT4, 2000 and XP.
NetTools is a very simple program that solves a severe problem with Windows You may have noticed that if you're behind a NAT you cannot do a trace route from within Windows. This is due to the way Windows performs the trace routes which cannot pass through the NAT. Since many new DSL and Cable modems provide NAT capabilities that prevents Windows from being able to perform a trace route and this is a major and serious issue. There're two known methods for doing trace routes, one that works behind NATs and another that doesn't.
