MTR (My Traceroute) is a powerful network diagnostic tool available on both Mac and Linux, which combines the functionality of ping
and traceroute
to help troubleshoot network connectivity issues. If a madRooster.com tech asks you to perform an MTR test to the IP address 209.188.15.3, follow the instructions below based on your operating system:
Download WinMTR below and follow the guide in the zip file.
MTR is not installed by default on macOS, but you can easily install it using Homebrew. If you do not already have Homebrew installed, follow the instructions on the Homebrew website. Once Homebrew is installed, open the Terminal and run the following command:
brew install mtr
Once MTR is installed, you will need to run it with root (administrator) privileges to get detailed results:
sudo mtr 209.188.15.3
To save the report to a file, you can use this command:
sudo mtr --report --report-cycles 100 209.188.15.3 > ~/Desktop/mtr-report.txt
This command will run the MTR test for 100 cycles and save the results to a text file on your desktop.
MTR may already be installed on your system. If it is not, you can install it using your package manager:
sudo apt-get install mtr
sudo yum install mtr
sudo dnf install mtr
After installation, run MTR with root privileges to gather network diagnostics:
sudo mtr 209.188.15.3
You can save the MTR results to a text file with the following command:
sudo mtr --report --report-cycles 100 209.188.15.3 > ~/mtr-report.txt
This will save the output to a file named mtr-report.txt
in your home directory.
