help with ping
Hi Lorrie,
There's something I seem to remember in the Windows 2000 resource kit - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572318082/ref=ase_ntregistrandtips/002-2628514-3551233
about an improved ping (PathPing) but I'm not entirely sure about what it does give (not running W2k so never bought it) It might be worth an investigate - I'm pretty sure you're not going to get anymore information out of the ping utility that's built into Windows.
The best page I've found as a starting point for Ping is at
http://www.ping127001.com/pingpage.htm
which is well worth a scroll down to the bottom of the page to see a set of links to lots of downloads for Ping utilities.
It's also worth going onto the search engines, and seeing what's available for free too -
There's
an extended console based ping called fping (from http://www.kwakkelflap.com) which can be downloaded here
http://www.sofotex.com/cgi-bin/ls/page.cgi?p=download&d=1&ID=5297
which has extra functionality for
-s : data_size in bytes up to 65500
-c : continuous ping (higher priority than -n)
to see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
to stop - type Control-C.
-t : time between 2 pings in ms up to 5000
-w : timeout in ms to wait for each reply
-n : number of echo requests to send
-h : number of hops (TTL: 1 to 128)
-v : Type Of Service (0 to 255)
-r : record route (1 to 9 routes)
-a : resolve addresses to hostnames
-f : set Don't Fragment flag in packet
-b : beep on every successful reply (- to beep on timeout)
-i : use ICMP dll instead of raw socket (disables -r)
-l : limit the output to ping results and errors
Hope that gets you started.
