http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&host=%s

3. To create a keyword for your bookmark,  if you are using firefox, hit <Ctrl> + <B> then search for the 2 URL’s that you have added just now. When you found it, right click and choose “Properties” on it and you will see something like this

5. After clicking “Properties”, a window will pop up and from there you can see there is a “Keyword” field. So just enter the keyword accordingly.

• “ping” keyword for bookmark http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=ping&host=%s
• “tracert” keyword for bookmark http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&host=%s

Example:

4. Ok, you are all set. Now try to type “ping www.google.com” or “tracert www.google.com” without the double quote on your browser URL address bar

Example:

5. See, the ping/tracert result is showing in the browser

Quite handy isn’t it.
