Hi N,

Hit the keys (Ctrl + Shift + 6) together and then hit x alphabet

It will surely work.

thanks for that Ankur. Where in the world did Cisco decide on that for an abort sequence!

[n.titchener]

that didn't work

Hi N,

It should work can you try (Ctrl + shift + 6) together or press ctrl keep holding it then press shift keep holding both and then press 6.

Should work, I checked again.

I'v egot it to work but don't ask how! it's a case of continually pressing all four buttons until the trace stops.

Thanks Ankur for your help.

It's the same sequence that breaks you from a connection, you should be able to easily do it with practice(and you will get lots of practice telneting into your various routers and switches).

The 6 is not necessary, it will drop you out of the traceroute or ping seqence without it.
