ping/tracert help

My friends site was dl'ing at a snails pace so i wanted to see how many hops there were on the way. I pinged his server C:\ ping -r 9 address but since the -r switch only takes a maximum value of nine this just wont cut it since the ttl value < 246 displayed address are getting cut off. Running tracert gives me the full amount of hops but i noticed the ip address are different than if i ran ping. :confused:

Seems i can use pathping with the -h switch (Sets a maximum number of hops for the trace to the destination. The default is 30 hops.) but i dont seem to have pathping on Win98. :confused:
