Troubleshooting Network Connections
" NOTE:
3-4 6400 Computer TCP/IP Client User's Guide
If the target host is active and sends a reply to your
"
ping request, you know that the network media
forming the path to that host is working.
If a host fails to respond to a network request, it
"
means a failure has occurred at one of several points
from your 6400 computer to the remote host.
The host may not be working and is unable to
respond, some network or gateway in the path
between your 6400 computer and the target host may
not be working, or the host may not implement the
service you are requesting.
For more information about Ping messages, see
Interpreting Ping Messages" on page 3 11.
To send an ICMP echo request and receive debugging
information:
Use ping IP address and specify the target host's IP
address. For example:
C:\>ping 123.456.78.910
Various options are available with ping. For a list of options that
may provide useful information for your specific case, type
ping –? at the DOS prompt.
To diagnose simple network congestion:
Use ping -n value -z hostname | IP address to send
"
echo requests to the remote host a specific number of
times. For example:
C:\>ping –n 2 –z vex
host responding, time = 25 ms
host responding, time = 75 ms
Pinged host 2 times with 0 failures,
round-trip average (ms) = 50
