- 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.
