Testing the LAN Communication
You should now test communication between your computer and your
analyzer.
The ping utility is typically used to test LAN communication.
Running Ping under Windows 95
Enter the following at the command prompt of a DOS window on your
computer or workstation:
ping <IP address>
or
ping <hostname>
<IP address> is the number that was assigned by your network
administrator and was entered into your analyzer in “To Configure the
Analyzer” on page 1-10. The <hostname> is the hostname assigned to
your IP address. For example, type:
ping my8712
where my8712 is the <hostname>.
The ping utility has three common responses. If there is a valid working
connection, you should see a response similar to this:
Pinging my8712 [15.4.43.5] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 15.4.43.5: bytes=32 time=37ms TTL=252
Reply from 15.4.43.5: bytes=32 time=30ms TTL=252
Reply from 15.4.43.5: bytes=32 time=30ms TTL=252
Reply from 15.4.43.5: bytes=32 time=31ms TTL=252
If you see a response similar to the following, your connection may have a
problem. Refer to “Troubleshooting the Initial Connection” on page 8-3
