  1. First, record your initial IP address. This can be learned by visiting https://www.whatismyip.com/.
  2. Hit the Windows key and type cmd which will launch a Command Prompt window
  3. Type tracert followed by the domain you wish to check (Example: tracert google.com) then use your Enter key
  4. Let the Trace Route run until it completes
  5. Right-click inside the Command Prompt window and Select All
  6. Ctrl-c on your keyboard to copy the text
  7. Open a ticket with Managed.com. Include your initial IP address and Ctrl-v to paste the text from the Trace Route into the body and send
