Hi guys!

I have problems with ping -r command. I ping a host out of my LAN and want to know the record for this request. Is not working! Do you know why ?

It also depends on the router - not all routers will agree to send back the info in the header - try a different path through different routers to see if the result changes.

Maybe also try a count number after the -R, in (the unlikely) case that makes a difference.
