Tools for Your ProxyServer
Tool A - ProxyServer Monitor
So you're having some problems. Many problems can be solved by checking out
ProxyServer Monitor where there is on-line help. Please see Chapter 4 – ProxyServer
Monitor which details all of the functions and help applications that it has.
Tool B - PING
Ping stands for Packet Internet Groper. Ping is a utility that conducts a test to determine
if there is a communications path between two devices on a network. Basically it lets
your computer ask another computer or device, "Is there anything alive at this IP
address?". You can use the PING command in your DOS prompt. You can also type
either the IP address or the domain name of the ProxyServer you wish to PING. For
example both "PING 213.0.0.2" and "PING www.yahoo.com" will work. In the example
below we have sent a successful PING to an ProxyServer which has an IP address of
213.0.0.2 . So who cares right? Actually it's good. You can ping your ProxyServer from
your computer to see if there's a connection between your computer and your
ProxyServer. You can also ping an IP address on the Internet to make sure that your
computer has a connection via the ProxyServer to the Internet. It's a great way to
eliminate some of the potential reasons for troubles.
