I downloaded the free version and when doing a trace I am missing the info for each hop. I see 100% packet loss at each hop but it does not show the IP address or DNS name. It also doesn't plot on the graphs. I see the 1st hop and the last but nothing between. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.

This sounds like a problem where your router at hop 1 is blocking ICMP TTL Expired packets.

We cover this topic here:

Often, updating the firmware bios can solve this, or possibly changing some packet settings in the firewall to allow ICMP through.

Excellent info. That was the problem. I needed to enable my Netgear router to allow response to pings. Now I see all hops except hop 2 which is fine. Thanks for the quick answer.
