[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia status checkers

[K. Peachey]

You can try tracerouting it.

In Windows XP:
* Start
* Run
* "cmd"
* "tracert www.wikipedia.org"

and that will tell you where your connection is dying.

For example this what the traceroute may return:

> C:\Documents and Settings\AAA>tracert www.wikipedia.org
