I thought traceroute requires a server to start from? Are there any servers that allow people to call them from programs?

Um, yes, but not in the way you hope, I think. It is done using the Winsock API, but there are a lot of calls involved. There isn't one "traceroute this" API. I don't think Winsock could be done through @lib() calls, it's way too complex. The VDS Internet Suite 2 has a TraceRoute example...

The VDS Internet Suite 2 example is just what I was looking for.

Thanks!

A tracert/traceroute is nothing more then an ICMP packet request (ping uses icmp) and changing the TTL on each lookup. I've included a simple tracert example with the VDSIPP extension, the new download is available at vdsworld.

You may want to download the vdsipp again, I just uploaded it after your post with a new @internet(icmp,hostname) function which returns the hostname of the ip address.
