On Windows, how to determine route for IP destination?

Question

How can I determine the IP route taken for a specific IP destination (without looking at "route print" and figuring it out manually)?

In OS X there's route get 1.2.34 and in Linux there's /sbin/ip route get 1.2.3.4. Is there anything like that on Windows?

Yep. Open a command line and type tracert 1.2.3.4

	Heh, good point. Not an optimal solution, since it does query the network for something you know locally, but for the most part, gives me the information I need. – Ilya Oct 13 '11 at 23:17
	@Ilya: Using `-d` (no resolve IP) and `-w 0` (don't wait for ping) should speed up the scan a lot. – Hello71 Oct 14 '11 at 0:30
