Tracert usually uses UDP packets (with TTL) instead of "echo request"
packets. Maybe it is a trick question. But ping does check for
connectivity at the lowest level of the TCP/IP stack. So if IP works, TCP
should. 'Cause if you ping you usually can do tracert and telnet. Unless
there is an MTU/fragment issue.
