README
WinMTR – Appnor's Free Network Diagnostic Tool
Thank you for downloading WinMTR v0.93!
About
WinMTR is a free MS Windows visual application that combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping in a single network diagnostic tool. WinMTR is Open Source Software, maintained by Appnor MSP, a fully managed hosting & cloud provider.
It was started in 2000 by Vasile Laurentiu Stanimir as a clone for the popular Matt’s Traceroute (hence MTR) Linux/UNIX utility.
You will get a .zip archive containing two folders WinMTR-32 and WinMTR-64.
Both contain two files: WinMTR.exe and README.TXT.
Just extract the WinMTR.exe for your platform (32 or 64 bit) and click to run it.
If you don’t know what version you need, just click on both files and see which one works ;-)
As you can see, WinMTR requires no other installation effort.
Trick: You can copy the WinMTR.exe file in Windows/System32 so it’s accessible via the command line – cmd!
Supported platforms:
Windows 11 latest release
Windows 10x64 (until MS support drop)
Best effort platforms (the maintainer doesn't have hardware, and the compiler doesn't always cooperate)
Windows 11 on ARM
Usage
Visual:
Start WinMTR.
Write the name or IP ofthe host (e.g. google.com)
Press the Options buttonto configure ping size,maximum hops and pinginterval (the defaults areOK).
Push the Start buttonand wait.
Copy or export theresults in text or HTMLformat. Useful if you wantto document or file acomplaint with your ISP.
Click on Clear History to remove the hosts you have previously traced.
Usually this has to do with lame anti-virus or firewall applications. Stop all that when doing debugging or when using WinMTR. Or, configure them properly.
b) I get an error saying the program cannot be executed.
You are running the 64 bit version on a 32 bit platform. Try the WinMTR.exe stored in the WinMTR_x32 folder.
Please report it to us to make sure it’s not a bug in the application.
