Hello there,

The results of a tracert normally will include at least 4 pieces of information for each hop -- the hop number, the time it takes for the packets to get to that hop and back, the IP address of the hop, and the hostname corresponding to the IP address (if any). Most tracert programs send out 3 packets for each hop, in case any packets are lost, and to get an idea of whether or not the time varies for any specific hop.

* means that those perticular packets didn't make the hop. Or at least that is how I understand it. I know more here will explain it a lot better and correctly. :)
