Hello,
I've been looking through networking packages, of which there seem to be
a myriad, and as I don't know anything about the subject, I don't know
what I'm looking at anyway.
I'm basically looking for something that will give me a report on a
trace across the 'net, giving me IP names/addresses enroute.
If I could install a general tool that would give me the equivalent of
this:-

in one package that would be even better.
Thanks for any information.

I'm still pretty new to networking also, but here are some of the
equivelants: (see man pages for details)
* Verify connectivity to a particular device on your network
ping
* Quantitatively test data connections between your computer and a
remote system
* Trace the path to a network host or device
traceroute
* Obtain information on host names and IP addresses
nslookup, dig
* Scan your network and list devices and network services
* View summary information about a network host or device including the
official hostname, IP address, and contact information (from the Whois
database)
nslookup, dig, whois
* View Simple Network Management Protocol values as well as Windows
network domains, hosts, and workstations
* Search information (such as user's full names and e-mail addresses)
available through LDAP
