Sorry, I also forgot to mention that TTL support is not yet acessable via
the SetSockOpt routine.

TTL will therefore default to 128 IIRC, which will break out of the loop
imidietly as it would if it had hit the default maximum of 30 hops in
tracert.

All this info is available in the usage screen which can be viewed by
entering 'tracert' with no args.
