Description
This is a network diagnostic tool that implements PING, Traceroute
and DNS lookups specifically for Windows 95 and Windows NT. It may
work on Windows for Workgroups (Window 3.x) with some network stacks
when Win32s is installed.
PING is a network diagnostic tool that verifies connectivity to a
particular system on the network. PING sends an ICMP "echo request"
in the form of a data packet to a remote host, and displays the
results for each "echo reply". In essence, PING asks, "Hello host,
are you there?", and waits for a response. PING sends one packet
per second and prints one line of output for every response received.
When PING terminates, it displays a brief summary of round-trip
times and packet loss statistics. When using PING to isolate
hardware or software problems, first PING "127.0.0.1" (or "localhost")
to verify that the local network is up and running. Then, ping
hosts and gateways further and further away.
TRACEROUTE is a network diagnostic tool that lets you trace and view
the actual route an IP packet follows to an Internet host. It also
displays response times (in milliseconds), which identify the amount
of time it takes the packet to travel the route. Response times will
vary depending on network load. TRACEROUTE is useful for finding
potential trouble spots on large and complex networks that are
connected together with routers.
LOOKUP is a tool that lets you query Internet domain servers for
information about hosts and name servers. You can use LOOKUP to
query the name server for information about various hosts and
domains.
