The IP address of Curtin (curtin.edu.au) is:

The IP address of CentralOps (hexillion.com) is:

I decided not to download anything from the extra tools site, as my computer tends to freak out (probably the Vista incompatibility) and I've lost loads of time as it is, so might come back to this later.
The site did not specify which Windows operating system was being used, so I figured it was safer NOT to download anything. I've been caught out way too many times in my short, uneducated life on the internet while using Windows Vista.
Therefore, the extra two components will have to wait - I'm on a roll here and don't want to stop (and have to rebuild my computer) just yet!!!
On another note, the curriculum for this task referred to Concept 25, identity and location. It referred to how Internet identification can help prevent unwanted messages from other users of, for example, ICQ. Still unsure of this, but sort of understand it.

Module 1; Internet Tools Task Reflections
Again, I am indebted to the discussion board for helpful tips.
I managed to follow all the steps and the whole process was relatively effortless.
The hardest part was trying to obtain clear images of the screen in order to verify the routes taken.
In fact, I hope that I have correctly understood the data.
The CentralOps site also gave a graph of the route taken, although as yet it has not been necessary to analyze it.
Unsure how I could use this in my everyday dealings, but I noticed (while perusing the Module Tasks still to be attempted), that I might need this skill in future.
It is, however, quite fascinating to see the path that a simple request takes to get from one computer to another.
What is even more fascinating, is that it takes a fraction of a second (does 'ms' stand for 'millisecond'?) to travel across all those other stations!!!
The world is VERY amazing.

Module 1: Internet Tools Task Part 2
Okay this is slightly wierd. I have pasted three screen images of the entire path taken between CentralOps and Curtin.edu.au...except that the first image I uploaded has appeared here on my left, while images 2 and 3 are currently above this text...lets see what happens when I Publish the post!!!
There appear to be 20 hops from CentralOps to Curtin, although there were 21 steps listed. Steps 18, 19, and 20 are listed as asterisks, but these didn't affect the traceroute at all. It was still able to be completed.
The 21st step appears to be the speed of transfer - the average time of which is 254ms.

These two images trace the path taken from CentralOps.com to my computer.
This was my (self-directed) trial run.
