- After you connect with your ISP via AmiTCP, try to ping
- either your ISP or mine with this command in a Shell:
-
- ping delphi.com
-
- or
-
- ping epix.net
-
- After about 5-10 seconds use CTRL-C to break out of the ping
- routine. Look at the resulting line and notice the
- percentage of packet loss. Anything less than 100% packet
- loss is good enough for now. If you see 100% packet loss
- then you've most likely messed up the AmiTCP configuration at some
- point.
