- Hi,
-
- Is there anything I can do to "ping" a PC to see if it is on
- my local net? The PCs in question may or may not have Novell,
- TCP/IP, etc. running, so ideally this would be some kind of
- inquiry to the ethernet cards themselves.
-
- Any ideas? Is this even possible? Please email, I'll summarize.
-
- Thanks in advance, Dave Fisher fisher@lyra.hac.com
