How do I do that?
ping
to ping your ip address, and to trace route it, type:

This is perfectly normal behaviour btw, so nothing to worry about anyway.
If he doesn't now how to tracert etc. then he will come unstuck eventually. He's trying to setup an eCommerce site, the PC would obviously need to be on and available 24x7x365 I wouldn't be surprised if the PC gets unplugged when someone wants to use the hoover! ;¬)
I'll post back here when I find out more.
