Use the following guidelines:
• Enter Hostname or IP - Enter the IP address, DNS-registered host name, or
WINS-registered host name of the target to be pinged.
• Data area - Displays ping response messages. The ping command sends one echo
request per second, calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays
a brief summary upon completing the calculation.
• Start - Executes the ping command. If the host is operational and on the network, it
responds to the echo request. By default, echo requests are sent until interrupted by
clicking Stop.
• Stop - Terminates the ping request and leaves the ping dialog box open (so you can
read the summary posted in the data area).
Using Trace Route
The Trace Route dialog box executes the tracert diagnostic utility and displays response
messages. The tracert utility traces the path from your thin client to a network host. The
host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. The tracert utility sends out a
packet of information three times to each device (routers and computers) in the path and
displays the round trip response times and identifying information in the message box.
