I believe that does what you're asking for.

Tracert will also tell you the hosts that it's hopping through. You can often derive a location from those host names.

i think netstat -a or something is what your looking for

No, netstat shows statistics and other information about the network connections established on your computer and the ports that are listening or connected on your machine.
