Best Answer

When you you're not able to get onto the internet.

You can try tracerouting to an IP like Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8), and find out where the connection is stopping.

If it's stopping at your home router, then it's a problem with your connection to your ISP, if it's stopping further on than that, then it's a routing problem with the ISP or the ISP's service provider.

Basically, it's used for network troubleshooting.

What is the role of software?

Computer software tells the hardware what to do. Without any software, the hardware would be worthless. Think of the software as a subject in school, and the hardware as you or your brain. Without any learning, you can't do anything. One you have learned some math, then you are able to solve math problems. This learning is usually accomplished through downloads or CD's that are loaded into the computer.
