Solve : TTL Expired in Transit?

1.	Solve : TTL Expired in Transit?
Answer» I had a question regarding ping command that we GENERALLY use to check connectivity with any computer or network DEVICE like routers. But sometimes we GET reply from a different IP address not from the one we try to ping. And also get a messege TTL expired in transit. Can anyone please let me know when and why do we get this messege TTL expired in transit? TTL means: Time To Live. Microsoft says: Quote Error Message: TTL expired in transit. Explanation: The TTL value determines the maximum amount of time an IP packet may live in the network without reaching its destination. It is effectively a BOUND on the number of routers an IP packet may pass through before being discarded. This message indicates that the TTL expired in transit. User ACTION: Increase the TTL value using the -i parameter with the ping command. Source: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/1304.mspx?mfr=true
