    Traceroute

    Please Help me with this question...

    •The traceroute command gives you information about the route a packet takes from your host (you are currently logged in) to a remote host. However, if one logs into this remote host, different IP show up, why?

    Thanks a lot,
    O.B.G

    Even I don't understand the question...

    If you know what you're connecting to, then the IP will be the same, if you do it by IP (avoiding issues with round-robin DNS servers).

    However, due to the way the Internet is supposed to work, it will very likely take different routes to the same server every time.
