"mtr cnn.com" is actually much quicker to get to the last hop so you
know the IP addresses involved. Why Mr. Godwin used a much more elaborate
command, "mtr system2 --address  208.67.220.220" escapes me. If a simple
"mtr system2" didn't work I'm not sure what's going on with his system.
(Of course substitute system2 with either the dnsname or IP address of
system2.)
