ping and broadcast

by nitemare In reply to ping and broadcast

Hi,

If you are trying to ping an IP address of 10.10.50.255 and the NT Workstation does not respond, check:-

1. You are (or trying to) logged onto the network
2.Cable is in the Network Card/Modem
3. Network Card/Modem work internally (ping 127.0.0.1)
4. IP, DNS and WINS Settings are all correct.
5. Network Card/Modem driver OK.
6. The node on the IP you are trying to ping is on a/the network reachable by your host.

You can test for a connection by using the TRACERT command:-

Tracert -a 10.10.69.123

will show you the hops your data packets make to get to the source. If you get a few hits then a No Reply...it's not usually your end.

Geez I can be a dill sometimes...make that:

Tracert 10.10.69.123

without the -a. Thats a switch for the ping command, to resolve a machines NetBIOS name. Sorry.
