The IPXPING.NLM program enables you to check connectivity to an IPX
server on your internetwork.
The IPXPING utility sends a packet request to the target node, an IPX server
or workstation. After the target node receives the packet, it sends an IPXPING
reply packet to the system that sent the request packet.
To use IPXPING, type a command similar to the following at the server
prompt:
load ipxping
The system displays the New Target window. The fields of the New Target
window are described in

both the internal IPX address and node number to select the server.

After entering the network address, node address, and number of seconds to
pause between pings, press Esc to start sending request packets. The sending
node continues to send request packets and collect response time statistics
until you press Esc again and exit IPXPING.
Request and reply packets use the same format; each packet contains the
standard IPX header.
